Dear Aunt Mary,
Please join in my supporting the Southern Scholarship Foundation during the 2020 Bed Race. I’ll be racing a twin bed on wheels to earn money for housing scholarships for low-income college students. During this challenging time, students need help more than ever and I believe in the SSF mission to make dreams of attending college a reality! To learn more about SSF see https://www.southernscholarship.org.

John
