About this event
For 70 years the Rotary Club of Everett has succeeded in providing college scholarships to needy and deserving local high school seniors and nursing students. We have awarded over $5.5 million, benefiting students from Everett, Cascade, Sequoia High Schools, Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center, and Everett Community College. These scholarships are possible only because of generous private donations. We would love to include your support for the future of Everett’s young achievers.
The Helen Jackson Rotary Scholarship was started after her passing in 2018. Helen was married to the late US Senator Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson. Helen, like Scoop, and like us, recognized that access to higher education is the key not only to personal success but also to maintaining upward mobility and progress for us all. Helen worked tirelessly for many worthwhile causes in our community. In recognition of her dedication, she was an honorary member of Everett Rotary for 16 years.
Our gathering is an opportunity to socialize, network, and help us endow a scholarship in my mother Helen’s name so that future students can benefit, in perpetuity, in pursuing the goals that only higher education will allow.
Tickets: $200 a person. Donations are not required but are welcome. All ticket costs and donations will go directly to endow this scholarship. Our goal is to raise $50,000. Click here to RSVP and purchase tickets, or to make a donation to the scholarship fund.
Please RSVP by September 11, 2023.
