Creating Opportunities: The Cooper Foundation Proudly Accepts a $10,000 Donation to Support the Linda Brand Scholarship Fund
The Cooper Foundation today proudly accepted a $10,000 donation, proceeds from the inaugural Linda Brand Scholarship Golf Tournament held in October.
This generous contribution supports the Linda Brand Scholarship Fund, created to honor the incredible legacy of Linda Brand—a dedicated Cooper team member who spent nearly 30 years empowering others to pursue their educational and career dreams.
Even after being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer in 2023, Linda remained steadfast in her mission to help others. Her scholarship fund reflects her lifelong commitment to creating opportunities and breaking down financial barriers, enabling Cooper employees to achieve their highest potential.
“The scholarship established in her honor has been invaluable in helping to cover part of my tuition” said Delia Iguina, Supervisor – Patient Access and a recipient of the Linda Brand Scholarship. “It continues to motivate me as I work toward realizing my dreams. I am deeply committed to carrying forward her legacy by showing my team that, with hard work, motivation, and strong mentorship, anything is achievable at Cooper.”
Thank you to everyone who attended the inaugural Linda Brand Scholarship Golf Tournament held on October 15th. Through your participation and contribution, we’re continuing Linda’s vision of hope and opportunity.
