Bolin Family Stepping Stones Award

 

we proudly established the Bolin Family Stepping Stone Award, an annual honor presented to an individual making a meaningful impact in the lives of students with special needs through outstanding service in Volusia County.


This award was named in recognition of the Bolin Family, whose philanthropy, time, and unwavering compassion have been devoted to supporting families of children with special needs. Their commitment and generosity have created opportunities, strengthened our community, and left a lasting legacy of care and inclusion.


Through this award, we celebrate both the individuals who continue this important work and the enduring impact the Bolin Family has made—and continues to make—within our community.

If you know of an individual that meets this description-- please nominate them by emailing their name and a description of their work to upwardtrendfoundation@gmail.com
