Founders Scholarship Fund Past Board Chair – Pat Chadwick

Educating our children is an imperative for our society especially in our global competitive world. The financial expense of a college education or professional careers for Collier County (FL) High School graduates can prevent them from pursuing their dreams.

Through the foresight of Club Pelican Bay golf members, Founders Scholarship Fund (501(c)(3) was established in 1991 to provide scholarship aid to students pursuing a higher education or professional development.

Founders Scholarship Fund (FSF) is pleased to have Pat Chadwick as the Board Chair as she brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership experience to the volunteer position. She retired after 40 years in the retail industry of which most of her career was with Bloomingdales in New York City where she held various leadership and management positions. Her skills will help further the mission and vision of the organization.
