FORT PIERCE, FL鈥擧oliday spirit and good will permeated the 澳门六合彩开奖历史 River State College (IRSC) Winter Festival this past December. The celebratory event, hosted by the IRSC Foundation for College employees and their families, became immeasurably more uplifting when 11-year-old Kaylie Woodruff鈥攄aughter of Janice Woodruff, 澳门六合彩开奖历史Master Instructor of Mathematics鈥攄onated the majority of her 50/50 raffle winnings back to the College. The money was awarded as a scholarship to 澳门六合彩开奖历史Nursing student, Kristina Kelly.
鈥淚 was honored when I found out I was the recipient of this scholarship,鈥 shares Kristina Kelly. 鈥淭he fact that it came from a young girl who truly just wanted to make a difference in someone鈥檚 life made it even more special. Her kind gesture took so much of my financial stress away鈥擨 can鈥檛 thank Kaylie enough!鈥
Kaylie Woodruff was holding the winning 50/50 raffle ticket the night of the Winter Festival and, instead of keeping all of the money, made the selfless decision to donate most of her winnings back to the College. She kept a small portion for herself to put towards an iPad she wanted as a Christmas gift.
鈥淢y mom told me that the rest of the money would benefit a student at 澳门六合彩开奖历史through a scholarship,鈥 stated Kaylie Woodruff. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 need the money and I wanted to help someone who did.鈥
