"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." -- Coretta Scott King
Four years ago we introduced our "Love Your Neighbor" Scholarship as part of the Inspired Chaos "Love Your Neighbor" Campaign.
We initiated the campaign almost five years ago through the sales of LYN t-shirts, stickers and magnets, donating 100% of the profits to community organizations and projects that promote, enhance and engage kindness in their work to better our regional community. With the help of our patrons, just through this project alone, we’ve been able to donate over $12,000 back into the community, and we are so excited to be able to offer the scholarship for 2024 graduating high school seniors again this year.
Last year, we were blown away by the generous support of our community and were able to award three scholarships to deserving students. These young people impacted the hearts of others so much that they were all nominated multiple times.
