Meet Our 2022 Benefit Scholars

SCHOLARSHIP BENEFIT CONCERT!
Thank You For Your Support!
We made it back live and in person with a virtual component for those that could not be with us in person. We had some great on-line auction items this year. Thank you all for supporting in a big way this year; your donations, your bids for our auction items and your ticket donation for our annual benefit concert. With your continued support, we were able to provide scholarships totaling $4,500 to six outstanding scholars. This brings our total to date $19,500 in scholarships to students of single parent households. We cannot say THANK YOU enough!!
Tyrone, The TAP Band and Friends gave us their all and more. They had the crowd dancing in their seats and on the floor. Everyone had a wonderful time and of course the evening ending with “Don’t Stop Believin’”! Another over the top evening with some fantastic students that have already started doing some amazing things before their college journey begins.
The concert is still available on our website at below and on our YouTube page. Please subscribe to our social media pages. You may still donate via Cash app, our website or by mail. Thank you for continuing to support the TAP Foundation! We are looking forward to seeing you next year.
