Charlèse Wedding Magazine Scholarship Foundation
“Making the Impossible Possible” Scholarship
2008

Charlèse Wedding Magazine™ commits itself to making the “impossible” possible. The creation of the idea of this magazine, from just a thought to a “real” thing, at first seemed impossible. So many forces came out of nowhere to stop the production of the magazine. Some people even attempted to “steal” the idea and to smear its name so that advertisers would not purchase ad space and break us financially. The owners of this magazine know hardship. We overcame those obstacles and rose above them.  We know how sincere dedication can make things happen. We would like to see others overcome their hardships as well. Our Scholarship Foundation will award $500.00 in a person’s name who has “weathered the storm” and still continues to remain strong. Everyday, we see dreams shattered, but people do find the strength to rise above their circumstances to turn their situations around. We want to help you realize your dreams and continue giving back to others. Giving back is what we have to do. Pass it on!
