O2B Kids Awards 74 Founders Club Scholarships, Totalling $37,000, for 2025-26 Local Families

O2B Kids will award 74 Founders Club Scholarships totaling $37,000 for the 2025-26 cycle, providing $500 credits to recipients' accounts for future services. The program, which honors O2B Kids employees with a decade or more of service, has distributed over $254,000 in scholarships since its 2008 inception.

This year's scholarship initiative includes six new awards, bringing the total number of scholarships to 74. Each individual award provides a $500 credit directly to the recipient’s O2B Kids account, which families can use for various services.

The Founders Club Scholarships recognize O2B Kids employees who have dedicated 10 or more years to the organization. These individuals, known as the Fun Crew, have significantly contributed to children and families in the community. The scholarship program serves as an additional way for them to continue their positive impact.
