    IN MAY 2016, THE ERIK HITE FOUNDATION OPENED ITS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR SUMMER CAMPS. THE SUMMER CAMP SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS INTENDED TO REIMBURSE THE FIRST RESPONDERS' FAMILIES FOR REGISTRATION FEES PAID FOR SUMMER CAMP ATTENDANCE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. FAMILIES SENDING TWO OR MORE CHILDREN TO SUMMER CAMP WILL BE GIVEN PRIORITY CONSIDERATION. QUALIFYING AGES FOR THIS SCHOLARSHIP ARE CHILDREN 5 TO 18 YEARS OLD. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP OFFSET THE COST OF EXPENSIVE SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS AND TO KEEP THEIR CHILDREN ACTIVE DURING A LONG SUMMER VACATION WHILE THEIR PARENTS CONCENTRATE ON WORK. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020-2021, THIS PROGRAM WENT UNUSED BECAUSE OF COVID 19, AND WE HAD NO APPLICANTS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 THE PROGRAM WAS REVIVED AND WE WERE ABLE TO SEND 5 DESERVING CHILDREN TO CAMP PROGRAMS OF THEIR CHOICE.

    IN APRIL 2016, THE ERIK HITE FOUNDATION RE-OPENED ITS WORKSHOP PROGRAM. OUR GOALS WITH THIS PROGRAM ARE: A) TO EDUCATE B) TO DEMONSTRATE AND C) TO PREVENT.IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SOME OF OUR DONORS, WE BRING A VARIETY OF WORKSHOPS TO THE FIRST RESPONDERS THAT WE SERVE AND HELP THEM TO BE MORE EDUCATED ON HOW TO FIND THE RESOURCES THEY NEED FOR THEIR FAMILIES. ALSO, WITH THE HELP OF PROFESSIONALS ON A PANEL STYLE-WORKSHOP, WE DEMONSTRATE HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR FAMILY GOALS, WHETHER FINANCIAL STABILITY, MANAGING THEIR ERRATIC SCHEDULES, OR ANY OTHER NEED THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE. IN ADDITION, WE RAISE AWARENESS WITHIN OUR FIRST RESPONDERS COMMUNITY HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES. WITH THE SHIFT IN PUBLIC SENTIMENT TOWARD LAW ENFORCEMENT, WE ARE ALSO NOW SPONSORING A SPOUSES SUPPORT GROUP IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER OUTREACH PROGRAMS WE HAVE OFFERED IN THE PAST. WHILE THESE PROGRAMS ARE LESS VISIBLE, THEY MAY WELL BE MORE VALUABLE TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022, OUR SPOUSE SUPPORT GROUP REALLY HIT IT'S STRIDE, THANKS IN PART TO DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 35 FIRST RESPONDER SPOUSES ATTENDING REGULAR MEETINGS.
