Q: What problem does your organization solve?

A: We give away scholarships to graduating Baldwinsville seniors in an effort to alleviate the ever-rising cost of secondary education.

Q: Why does your product or service stand out?

A: We’ve been a part of this community since 1974, when a group of civic-minded volunteers decided to start raising money to give away scholarships. Today, we give away more than 100 scholarships each year, while also paying tribute to community members who have given so much to Baldwinsville.

Q: What is your favorite part about the B’ville community?

A: How the people here support each other. This organization is fueled by the generosity of the community. Year after year, the people here support each other through their time, their talents, and their checkbooks. It’s really moving.

Q: What has been your most satisfying moment in operating your organization?

A: Our annual scholarship giveaway, known as Moving Up Day, is always an inspiring event. Longtime community leaders and high school students gather together to celebrate and to honor the people who have made a lasting impact on B’ville.

Q: If you were to tell one person “thank you” for helping you become the person you are today or your organization become what it is today, who would it be and what did they do?

A: We couldn’t do this without the countless people who give so generously to keep us functioning and growing every year.
