MAB Foundation
Our Mission
The MAB Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, honors the life, work, and memory of Melissa Ann Bowman, 1968–2020.
To celebrate Melissa’s life and achievements, the MAB Foundation has adopted a simple mission: To help deserving CTE students receive financial assistance necessary to build successful, long-term careers in their chosen industry.
The annual MAB4U Award provides funds to a graduating CTE student to either further their education or ease their transition from student to professional by covering some of the expenses associated with the early stages of their career. By donating to the MAB Foundation, you join a community of patrons who support promising young students as they begin their professional careers and develop a livelihood that will allow them to contribute to their community with the same passion and joy Melissa Ann Bowman personified.
