Sally Lee’s 25 Years of Service: A Legacy of Hope

As we continue to celebrate 30 years of scholarships, mentors, and hope throughout the state, we want to draw attention to Florida’s panhandle in Escambia County, home of Mrs. Sally Lee, our longest serving network staff member and dedicated mentor. 

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Sally to explore her incredible 25-year journey with the Take Stock in Children of Escambia County program operated by Escambia County Public Schools Foundation. Sally shares how she first became involved in local mentoring efforts and reflects on the early days of the program, which has since grown into a vital support system for countless students. Through her eyes, we hear moving success stories of young scholars who have overcome challenges and achieved college dreams, thanks to the guidance and encouragement of dedicated mentors.

Sally also discusses the transformative power of building students’ confidence and how mentorship plays a critical role in shaping their futures. She shares personal mentoring experiences, stories of other devoted mentors, and the impressive outcomes achieved by program graduates over the years. Plus, she offers insight into how she actively recruits new mentors and donors to keep the mission alive and thriving in Escambia County.

It’s with great honor that we welcome Sally Lee to the Mentors & Milestones Podcast! Congratulations, Sally Lee, on leaving a legacy of impact on the countless lives you’ve supported for 25 years!
