Empowering Young Minds, Honoring a Legacy
We believe every child deserves the tools they need to succeed — and we’re here to make that happen.
The Val A. Henry Legacy Scholarship Fund is dedicated to empowering students by removing barriers to learning and creating opportunities for academic success. We begin our mission by providing essential school supplies—backpacks, notebooks, technology tools, and other learning materials—to students who might otherwise go without. By equipping young learners with these resources, we ensure they can enter the classroom prepared, confident, and ready to excel. This immediate support honors Val’s lifelong dedication to education, community, and opportunity for all.
Our Objectives
- Provide essential school supplies — including books, bookbags, and learning materials — to underserved students.
- Build and equip science and technology labs in public schools to inspire innovation and hands-on learning.
- Partner with local schools and community organizations to reach students in need.
- Encourage academic excellence and personal growth through access to resources and opportunities.
As we grow, our mission expands beyond the basics, working to create lasting educational impact in underserved public schools. Through strategic fundraising, community partnerships, and dedicated donor support, we aim to build and modernize public school’s science and technology labs that inspire curiosity, innovation, and achievement. These labs will feature the latest hardware, software, and supplies funded directly through our initiatives, ensuring students have access to cutting-edge tools and hands-on experiences. We are committed to being fully transparent with our donors, regularly sharing how funds are spent and the number of children whose lives we have touched. By investing in these spaces and maintaining trust with our supporters, we give students not only the tools of today but also the vision and skills to shape tomorrow—continuing Val’s legacy of leadership, service, and belief in the transformative power of education.
