A word from Kenny Gordon Foundation Scholarship recipient Salome Ruperty
Graduating from Skidmore College as the first "Kenny Gordon scholarship" recipient has been a true honor. The experience and knowledge I gained during my time at Skidmore College are invaluable and I always look back on them with great fondness. Since graduating, I have been working at a Non-profit organization in New York City, helping adults with physical disabilities live independently, and fully take part in their community. Being a social worker is something I'm very passionate about. I take pride in being an advocate, and developing relationships with extraordinary people.
This past summer, my family and I took a trip to Lake George, and stopped at Skidmore College along the way. As I walked through the campus, I became nostalgic of my time as a student there. The most memorable moment of all was when I met the Gordon family, and feeling that I had become part of a very special family. I stopped by Kenny's dedicatory tree, and it has grown strong and beautiful! I am very thankful to the Gordon family and all the scholarship donors for their generosity. I hope to continue carrying on their love, and dedication through my efforts as a social worker, as I make a difference in people's lives.
A letter to our dear friends and contributors:
We know how many charities solicit you throughout the year. No matter how committed we all may be to the causes we support, it's still a lot of paper filling up your mailbox. As a result, KGF makes it a point to contact you only when it is absolutely necessary. This is one of those times.
