Our Mission

The Blue Rose Foundation believes that equal access to resources starts children on an early pathway to success, and strengthens our families and communities. By awarding preschool scholarships to children from economically disadvantaged families, we foster a life-long love of learning and provide the children with the tools to reach their full potential.

Together, in the spirit of remembrance and gratitude, we offer renewed promise for generations to come.

About

The Blue Rose Foundation was created to honor the memories of our family members, friends, teachers, and mentors. To pay tribute to those who inspired us, we support programs that give children the ability to reach new heights of success. Reaching at-risk children early is critical to this success. Nobel Prize-winning Professor of Economics James Heckman has demonstrated that investing in pre-kindergarten programs for disadvantaged children provides a significant return on investment to society, improving literacy, high school graduation and employment rates, as well as reducing delinquency and violence.

    “My oldest daughter went to Old Adobe School on a scholarship. She didn’t start out on a scholarship. My husband and I had some very tough times, financially, and the scholarship fund helped us work through the difficult times. 

    The education at Old Adobe was so great! Not only was my oldest more than prepared for elementary school academics, she was very confident that she could do it. She felt ready and knew she was smart… the social engagement she participated in every day really helped her be ready to problem-solve in a larger group. Because we had the help of the scholarship, a huge weight was lifted off my husband and me and it was one less thing to be worried about… it lent us more time to present with our children at home.”

    “Mi hijo llego a la escuela de Adobe Viejo hace tres anos. Solo podria pagar 100 dolares al mes. Adobe Viejo paga el pagado el resto. Esta en primer grado ahora y en la parte superior de su clase. Adobe Viejo era muy bueno para el.”

    Translation – “My son came to Old Adobe School three years ago. I could only pay $100 a month. Old Adobe paid the rest. He is in first grade now and at the top of his class. Old Adobe was very good for him.”
