Saving for College? We’re Helping a Local Student!

Our 2022 Wisdom For Wisdom program helped to offset some of the costs of college by providing a free wisdom teeth removal procedure to a student in the Columbia Basin and Tri-Cities region.

This year, our recipient was Chloe, 18, from West Richland. Chloe graduated from Richland High School and plans to attend Paul Mitchell The School. As she has been unable to afford her wisdom teeth removal procedure, she knows the costs of cosmetology school will make it even more challenging to save money. Chloe wrote that being the Wisdom For Wisdom recipient “would help [her] and [her] family immensely, and would help [her] pursue [her] passion without having a large debt in [her] first year of college.”

We are so glad that we are able to help Chloe as she pursues her education.
