Fostering Change Podcast | Episode 223 | Comfort Cases Scholarship Recipients

It’s October! Comfort Cases held our annual fundraiser event this past weekend, a “Farm-to-Table Feast.” It was a memorable event, with inspirational speakers, including our keynote speaker, Cowboy Jax, our emcee, the fabulous Jen Lilley, and our founder and host of Fostering Change, Rob Scheer. There’s still time to donate or contribute your most valuable asset – your TIME – to Comfort Cases. Please visit comfortcases.org to find out more!

We recorded our show today a number of weeks ago but intentionally posted it today, as we are featuring not one, not two, but THREE Good Humans: Rob’s special co-host Jill Ross, who is also the President of Comfort Cases’ Board of Directors, and Parker Lopez and Ashley Baker, who were both recent recipients of academic scholarships presented by Comfort Cases at previous fundraiser events.

Parker and Ashley share how these scholarships have profoundly impacted them and how they could move forward in their academic pursuits.

Beyond academics, they also are giving back to the community:

Parker is involved with “First Star” Academies a long-term college-prep program for high school students in foster care, while Ashley works with “It’s On Us” (www.itsonus.org) a non-profit campaign in the United States aimed at raising awareness about sexual assault and promoting a culture of consent.

Jill also shares more about Comfort Cases’ Pathway Program, which is designed to provide additional resources to our scholarship recipients. You can learn more about Pathways here.

We hope you feel inspired and hopeful after listening to these fantastic young people. It is people like them who will make all of our futures brighter.
