Link to GIVE BACK: https://bpro.betterworld.org/campaigns/bloom-grow-giveback-multiple-scl
This year, BPRO is proud to launch our GIVE BACK initiative to raise funds, awareness, and support for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), in memory of our dear friend, colleague, presenter, and former BPRO member, Cynthia Powell. Ms. Powell dedicated almost 40 years to Human Services supporting the citizens of this Commonwealth and sharing her knowledge with Benefit Programs Specialists across the State of Virginia. Cynthia will be deeply missed by all. Thank you for your contribution.
