History
The GOOD Fund seeks to continue the spirit of our founding organization, PROF (Pine-Richland Opportunities Fund). PROF began in 1994 when grieving father Bill Thorne met with then-superintendent George Szymanski to establish a scholarship in memory of his daughter. "The district responded by suggesting we create a nonprofit foundation that would administer the Thorne scholarship and, hopefully, encourage others to contribute and become involved," said Judy Boren, the first executive director of The GOOD Fund from 1994-2005. Over the years, PROF evolved to focus on enriching and investing in the experiences of every Pine-Richland student through staff grants, student scholarships and community partnerships. With over $500,000 in funds distributed, the organization made a direct impact in the classroom and will continue to provide valuable and game-changing scholarship funds to Pine-Richland graduating seniors. |
