Kiwanis Club of Seminole Breakfast Foundation (KCSBF) provides Scholarships

In August 2011, the Club created a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation (KCSBF). All of our club’s community service projects and programs are funded through the KCSBF. The club’s board of directors meet monthly to determine how best to assist the community with these funds. This foundation also includes a separate college scholarship program which was endowed by Col. Mildred Imogene Butler.

Col. Butler enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1944 following her graduation from nursing school in 1943. She served as a Registered Nurse Anesthetist in the European Theatre of Operations and cared for the sick and wounded soldiers as they returned from the front lines.  She retired on April 1, 1970 after 26 years in the Air Force while achieving the rank of Colonel and having served her country during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Col. Butler sadly passed away in December 2015 at 93 years of age.

As per Col. Butler’s wishes, scholarships are provided for study at St Petersburg College to qualifying students who are pursuing a degree in the medical field, preferably as a registered nurse. Scholarship applications are accepted from April 1st through May 15th from students who are beginning their third or fourth semester of study.  Scholarships are awarded annually in August.   

Thus far, 36 students have been recipients. As a 501(c)(3) public charitable foundation we are able to accept tax deductible contributions.
