The Women’s Red Apple Foundation of Palm Beach County recently announced the addition of Rachael Bonlarron (Comcast), Jessica Clasby (Florida Sugar Cane League), Mary Hart (Hart Core Solutions) and Heather Landstrom (Guardians Credit Union) to their Board of Directors.
They join President Margaret Fanjul Montalvo (Margaret F. Montalvo, Esquire), Secretary Janiece Davis (Urban Health Partnership), Treasurer Jane Bloom (Retired), Immediate Past President Danielle Shull (Gehring Group) and Directors Diane Corsi (Seacoast Bank), Alissa del Sol (Florida Power & Light), Hilda Gonzalez (PBC Sheriff’s Office), Theresa LePore (T A LePore Consultants), Shanon Materio (McMow Art Glass), Emily O’Mahoney (2GHO, Inc., Landscape Architects, Planners, Environmental Consultants) and Suzanne Turner (Retired Social Welfare Administrator).
The Foundation seeks to uplift and inspire women in the community who are seeking higher education by providing scholarships and mentoring. The red apple has served as its icon and for many years donations have been collected in red apples at fundraising events.
The Foundation raises funds throughout the year through various events, culminating in the Annual Scholarship Luncheon in June. Funds also come from donations, endowment, businesses, and individuals that support recipients over multiple years.
The Foundation provides scholarships for both graduating high seniors and those seeking education later in life – over the past 19 years, 74% of scholarship recipients are between 18-22 years of age and 26% are 23-40+. This year a record number of scholarships in the amount of $60,000 were awarded to 27 women who reside in Palm Beach County.
