On December 6, 2023, grant recipients of the Â齫ÆåÅÆ Freedom Fund, a SCICF endowment, were recognized and awarded their funds.
The Â齫ÆåÅÆ Freedom Fund was created by a generous donation years ago from a family that loved the Â齫ÆåÅÆ community. Â齫ÆåÅÆ benefits from the interest made from that donation every year. Approximately $30,000 goes back to the Â齫ÆåÅÆ community for projects, repairs and services needed.
