102. Returning to Give Thanks: The AEF Alumni Luncheon

This episode of the Affton Unplugged podcast highlights an annual event hosted by the Affton Education Foundation, an organization that has provided over half a million dollars in college scholarships since 2005. During a special luncheon, scholarship recipients return to share how these financial awards have helped them pursue diverse academic paths, ranging from business and nursing to marine science and criminal justice. Former students, spanning graduation years from 2020 to 2025, provide updates on their progress at various universities and discuss their future career goals. The gathering serves as a way for the foundation's board of directors to see the tangible impact of their support on the lives of local graduates. It also serves as a celebration of academic achievement and the Affton Education Foundations investment in the next generation of professionals.
