Award Winners
- Caregiving Youth Student Leadership Program, part of the Military Child Education Coalition of Harker Heights, Texas, received a $100,000 grant.
“These are students who balance homework with hospital visits, who help care for a parent who is healing from injury or illness,” said Mary Bier, president and CEO of the Military Child Education Coalition.
Bier accepted the award during a ceremony and noted that students in the program often sacrifice their own needs to care for someone they love.
