On Friday, May 13, 2016, the Barthold Family Foundation (“BFF”) was invited to attend the Cañada College Student Recognition Reception. It was held at the college and was a lovely event. Each year, we are amazed by the dedication and perseverance of each scholarship recipient. Many of these students have gone back to school after facing difficulty in life. Others are returning after a break to continue their education. It is humbling and an honor to be a part of their journey. This year, the BFF scholarship recipients shared their incredible life stories and educational dreams with us. Each one is so deserving and wish them all the best in their futures. Below are a few photos and the names of our scholarship recipients.
