BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED GRANTS
These grants provide K-12 students with financial need the support to allow them to pursue extracurricular activities. Since the beginning of 2020, approximately $20,300 has been granted to 241 students.
This grant fund was created by the family of Karl Bloom who passed away last year. Karl’s life was an example to so many people about how to give back to your community. He was a dedicated local volunteer in Scouting, HOSA, and a band parent.
