Here’s an example:
A person or a group of people, such as a work department, selects John Q. Public as their honored educator. The funds are collected and donated to the Foundation through an Honor An Educator Program application submitted in John’s name, with the request that the funds be used for science and technology programs or technology equipment or middle school reading programs, etc. The Honor An Educator Program may be used at any time during the year for a birthday celebration, to recognize a retirement, at the completion of a degree program or a certificate program, etc. It’s as simple as that.
