Scholarship donations help students acheive their dreams!


 
 
Cornerstone Wealth Management Partners loves to be a part of events that give back!  Especially events that help the people of the community reach their educational goals.
 
An event that you can always look forward to each year is the Festival of Flavors. This signature event, hosted by FVCC, brings our community together for 10 days to experience exceptional food and wine while celebrating and discovering the heights FVCC has gone to in order to provide affordable education to the community!
 
Don and Leslie have had many experiences during the festivals. They recall the 6th annual Festival of Flavors as being one of their greatest experiences.  Don and Leslie chose a Sunday dinner at the lovely home of Marylou and Tony Patterson.  The event was presented by Steele Winery and Bill Bishop and featured Chef Andy Blanton and CafĂ© Kandahar.  The Rich’s absolutely adore Chef Andy who ran the culinary program at FVCC for several years and they have taken cooking classes from him in the past.  As always the glamorous evening on Big Mountain with wine and food was wonderful!
 
Don and Leslie believe in giving to The Festival of Flavors as this very important event generates over $100,000 to help provide scholarships for FVCC students in need.  Several CWMP team members over the years have been able to experience the blessings that events, such as the Festival of Flavors, can do for a student’s life. We believe in education and we believe in the scholarship program at FVCC.
 
Katie, Cornerstone’s very own FVCC scholar, has experienced first-hand the impact that receiving scholarships can have on a student’s life. In many cases, scholarships can determine for students to even consider attending college. With the assistance of scholarships from various sources, Katie has been able to maintain a full-time class load at the college and manage to afford the many expenses that come along with being heavily involved in school. Without this assistance, Katie doesn’t believe she would be where she is today. She is extremely grateful for all of the scholarships she has received and for the opportunity to continue her education past high school. She is certain, that without a doubt, scholarships have not only changed her life, but the lives of many others students. She hopes that scholarship programs will continue to grow as they truly do aid in achieving the dreams of many students.
