EDUCATION: Investing in our local youth

Due to COVID-19, United Way of Hernando County helped transform 2020's Celebration to a LIVE online award ceremony with the Greater Hernando County Chamber of Commerce and Hernando County Schools. This allowed Hernando to still publicly and safely recognize senior students, in a time where so many end of the year festivities were hindered because of the pandemic. A special thank you to all Planning Members and sponsors who helped make the 46th Annual Student Recognition Celebration possible. 

The May 21, 2020, recorded Facebook event can be found by clicking here.


United Way provided two $1,000 scholarships at the 45th Annual Student Recognition Celebration.
