This scholarship is made on behalf of Reece who was diagnosed at age 19 with osteosarcoma. Reece continues to fight his cancer with the support of his family, friends and community. He is paying it forward by funding one of SCAPHON’s academic college scholarships. Reece is fighting to victory and would like others to do the same.
In memory of Nancy Jopes, SCAPHON awards three nursing scholarship opportunities to attend the annual SCAPHON Regional conference each spring in Southern California. This scholarship award is raffled off at the March, September and December Educational Quarterly SCAPHON Meetings.
In 1995, the SCAPHON Board of Directors established and presented the Founder’s Award for Excellence in Pediatric Oncology Nursing to Kathy Ruccione, the driving force behind the establishment of our local SCAPHON chapter. Now, each year we honor a nurse from our local SCAPHON chapter who exemplifies excellence in pediatric hematology/oncology nursing. The award includes: 1) a certificate; 2) free registration to the SCAPHON Regional Conference; and 3) a $500 honorarium. Please consider nominating a co-worker for this award.
Funding for SCAPHON’s Scholarship and Awards Programs is made possible through the efforts of board members, the APHON/SCAPHON and general membership, and the generous financial support of our raffle sponsors and other donators.
