During a breakfast event on Dec. 1, the pastors of 40 local congregations — including Bishop Allen Wiggins, Dr. Joel Hunter, Bishop Derrick McRae and Dr. George Cope — discussed a mutual mission aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty through college education and announced the creation of the Central Florida Pastors Endowed Scholarship Fund.

A check for $50,000 was presented to Bethune-Cookman University, which will help students cover the costs associated with attending the historically Black university. Anyone interested in contributing to the scholarship fund can donate directly at https://cookman.scalefunder.com/cfund/project/34548.
