PB PERS Quantum - Education Foundation

Talked with Randy Scheid from Quantum Foundation and James Gavrilos from the Education Foundation. Quantum is the foundation created from the proceeds of JFK sale and they fund multiple non-profits in the county with focus on Health issues. Groups can apply online for a grant and Quantum does quarterly reviews. Charities can go to www.quantumfnd.org for more info. The Education Foundation is one of the recipients of a grant this year. They are the fundraising/non-profit arm of the PBC county schools. This grant is for medical simulators for students in the healthcare/medical programs. They actually have models that simulate different illness/disease to help the students get hands on training. They offer lots of programs including Red Apple Supplies, career training, classroom funding. etc. Listeners can find out more on their website www.educationfoundationpbc.org
