The Southern Scholars Gratitude Garden
A living tribute to the loved ones, mentors, and community members who inspired this year’s Giving Tuesday gifts. Every name in this garden reflects a legacy of generosity and belief in our Scholars.
To add someone you love, make a gift of $18 in their honor, now.
