During September 2010, the Pepsi Refresh Project is donating $1,300,000 to groups and charities around the nation for various functions, including education. The California Fire Exploring Scholarship is now in the running for a $25,000 award allowing them to provide better education and training scholarships to the state’s future Firefighters.
All votes must be cast in September. Pepsi will award the winning organization $25,000 which would fund the organization for decades.
The California Fire Exploring Scholarship is the ONLY non-profit program and all volunteer program in the state dedicated to helping our Fire Explorers and Cadets with yearly financial awards assisting them with their education an training. During the month of January of every year, all qualified Explorer Scouts/Cadets in the state of California are invited to submit their written essays to the Review Panel by January 31. Selected winners are awarded $250 scholarships to be applied only to their future education and training.
Pepsi’s Refresh Project award money will go to the bank account at The Mechanics Bank in the Sacramento area. Manager Tony Goularte and his staff will invest these funds to guarantee a strong annual return and applying the dividends towards yearly scholarship awards.
