Vancouver's Imperial Sovereign Court of the Raintree Empire makes another BIG Donation!

Jun 17, 2010

In May of 2010, the Imperial Sovereign Court of the Raintree Empire made a $2500.00 donation to the Audria M. Edwards Scholarship Fund.  This money was part of a year-long effort to support the AME Fund through a variety of small shows, auctions, dinners, bar-b-ques and raffles.  These folks do an amazing job of raising funds one dollar at a time through small community events.  You name it, they have done it all in the name of charity and we are thrilled to receive their generous gifts year after year.

Since 1992, the AME Fund has awarded 151 scholarships to 120 GLBT individuals (or their children) totalling more than $172,450.00.   

Since 1996, the Imperial Sovereign Court of the Raintree Empire has donated $43,383.33 to the Audria M. Edwards Scholarship Fund. This awesome total accounts for rougly one quarter of all the scholarship grants awarded in the history of the AME Fund (14 of which went to students from SW Washington). 

We couldn’t be more grateful and proud of our friends and supporters from the Imperial Sovereign Court of the Raintree Empire for all their many, many years of dedication and commitment to The AME Fund.
