Today is KY Gives Day, and the Pikeville Community Foundation Board Members are asking you to support the East Kentucky Health Occupation Scholarship Fund.

This scholarship was inspired by three physicians with deep Eastern Kentucky ties who wanted to give back to the communities that shaped them by creating scholarship opportunities for Eastern Kentucky students pursuing health-related degrees.

Your donation today helps invest in the next generation of healthcare professionals who can make a difference across our region.

Donate today at:
https://www.kygives.org/organizations/east-kentucky-health-occupation-scholarship

Together, we can support local students and strengthen healthcare in Eastern Kentucky.

At Pikeville Community Foundation, we’re proud to support local artists, educators, and organizations who make our community more vibrant, inclusive, and inspired every day.
