Major Grant Supports Emancipated Foster Youth

Thanks to Bank of America, a $200,000 grant will provide critical funding to the EMQ FamiliesFirst Emancipation Scholarship Program in the Capital Region and further supports foster youth who are “aging out” of foster care. EMQ FamiliesFirst is honored to be a recipient of the Bank of America 2009 Neighborhood Builder award.

“Bank of America is committed to supporting organizations that are making a positive impact in our communities,” said Kathie Sowa, Sacramento market president for Bank of America. “EMQ FamiliesFirst is doing amazing work and is a true champion of our neighborhoods and our region.”
