SOS is an all volunteer, grass-roots
501 (c)(3) organization with 6 board members
and about 30 volunteers. During these first
5 years SOS has raised over $40,000 and has
helped 38 women, mostly single mothers.
Contributions are 100% tax deductible as
allowed by law.

Past recipients have been students
at Ohio Dominican University, Columbus
State Community College, DeVry University,
The Ohio State University, and Franklin University.

These deserving individuals deal with a myriad of
obstacles while attending classes and sometimes
working full time.

Mostly single mothers, they have dealt with such problems
as poverty, childhood abuse, domestic violence, loss of a partner,
and discrimination on the job. Yet, they have strong ambitions to
further their education in order to improve life for themselves
and their families.
