Additionally, funds provide a significant contribution to the NSSRA Foundation Transportation Fund. In 2018, NSSRA Foundation granted over $46,000 in scholarships to participants and provided the funds for NSSRA to purchase Oscar, a new bus. NSSRA’s buses provided participants with over 15,000 rides. The Foundation also sponsored two special events, Shining Stars Banquet and Summer Bash, allowing 800+ individuals to attend at a free or reduced rate.
