Community partnerships make amazing things happen. 🤝❤️

We are once again grateful to the Lakewood Ranch Community Foundation for their continued support of local education. Because of their recent grant, we are able to offer need-based scholarships to K-6 students in the Lakewood Ranch area for SCF's Summer STEAM Enrichment Camps.

This funding does more than just fill summer days—it opens doors to inspiration, discovery, and future career paths for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. Thank you for helping us ensure equal access to this impactful program!

Learn more about the camps at https://learned.scf.edu/courses/youth/.

What does it really mean to “light the path”?

For Jaime Marco, it starts with one simple idea: you don’t need a title, a perfect plan, or the right moment to lead. You just need a willingness to show up with intention.

In her keynote, Jaime will bring this idea to life through real stories, interactive moments, and practical tools that help individuals reconnect, refocus, and take small actions that create a path others can follow. Because when one person chooses to shine, it gives others permission to do the same.

Get ready for a high-energy, intention-driven experience that will shift how you think, deepen how you connect, and ignite action with simple, powerful ways to make an immediate impact.

We're SO close — and we need YOU to finish strong!
Thanks to your incredible generosity, SCF Foundation has already raised $5,000 on Giving Day — before the match! That's YOU making that happen. Thank you.
Here's the exciting part: Two former SCF presidents, Dr. Probstfeld and Dr. Pappas, are matching our $6,000 goal — alongside President Gregory. Every dollar you give helps unlock the full match.
We're just $1,000 away from crossing the finish line.
💛 Will you help us close the gap?
