DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Supervisor Mashburn requests that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County's contribution of $1,500 from the General Fund contribution allocated to District 5 to benefit the following organizations, including the Sudie M. Smith Foundation, Inc. ($500) and Scouting America ($1,000).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
District 5 has identified two (2) local non-profit organizations for which to contribute its non-county contribution allocation, including:
Sudie M. Smith Foundation, Inc. ($500)
The mission of the Sudie M. Smith Foundation, Inc. is to provide charitable assistance and educational enrichment opportunities for students pursuing careers in healthcare and medicine. Since 1997, the Smith family has honored Sudie M. Smith's legacy by awarding a memorial scholarship through the Assist-A-Grad Scholarship Program to an Armijo High School student pursuing a healthcare-related career. In 2017, the family established the Sudie M. Smith Foundation, Inc. to continue and expand those scholarship opportunities.
Sudie M. Smith moved to Solano County with her family in 1962 and dedicated her life to serving others. A mother of eight, she was deeply involved in her community, known for her generosity and hospitality, and retired after 24 years of service with the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District. Her commitment to the health, well-being, and success of those around her left a lasting impact. The foundation and scholarship established in her memory continue to honor her legacy by helping the next generation of healthcare professionals pursue their educational goals.
