CY-CREEK GRADUATE SHARES THE MEANING OF THE "POWER OF $5,000" AT CFEF'S ANNUAL "SALUTE TO THE STARS" GALA EVENT

Attorney Mindy Harper told a distinguished crowd of more than 800 teachers, spouses, parents, business partners and community members gathered at the 2009 Salute to the Stars Gala that the $5,000 scholarship she received from the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation in the spring of 1993 transformed her life.

CFEF's 12th Annual "Salute to the Stars Gala," held October 22 at Cy-Fair ISD's Richard E. Berry Center, raised over $145,000 for for Cy-Fair ISD's Instructional Excellence Grant program and CFEF's student scholarship program. Over $1.1 million has been raised for those vital programs since 1998.

Harper told the crowd that when she learned that CFEF had awarded her a $5,000 scholarship, it was one of the most exciting moments of her life.

"It affirmed what I had been working for in school, and empowered me to take the next step to college," Harper said. "I was thrilled to have earned it, and determined to show that I deserved it."
