Mickey Mandelblatt Memorial Scholarship Fund

About the Fund

Mickey Mandelblatt lived a life defined by compassion, achievement and an unwavering commitment to helping others. Born March 16, 1946, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mickey grew up in a close-knit family with his two sisters, Carole and Nancy. After graduating from Germantown High School in 1963, he attended Penn State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting before launching a successful career.

Mickey began his professional journey at Price Waterhouse, where he rose to the position of senior manager and earned his CPA certification. In 1978, he joined Pantry Pride, one of the nation’s largest supermarket chains, and was soon asked to relocate to Fort Lauderdale to help lead the company’s turnaround. His leadership was instrumental in Pantry Pride’s historic emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and he was named chief financial officer in 1983. Following the sale of Pantry Pride in 1986, Mickey pursued a career in money management.

While his professional accomplishments were impressive, Mickey’s true passion was his family and community. Married for 26 years to his wife, Charlotte, he was a devoted father to their three children: Eric, Ali and Kasey. Friends and family remember him as a man whose mission was to enrich the lives of those around him — a mission he fulfilled with unmatched generosity and heart.

To honor Mickey’s legacy and continue his work, his family established the Mickey Mandelblatt Scholarship Fund at the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The fund supports scholarships for students who demonstrate both need and promise — helping future generations realize their potential and, in doing so, realize Mickey’s dream of a more equitable world.

    New Jersey Chronic Disease Prevention Grant

    State of New Jersey Department of Health
    State/Local Government
    New Jersey
    Up to US $150,000

    Overview

    The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH)- Community Health and Wellness Unit (CHWU) is an integral component of the Division of Health Promotion, with the primary goal of addressing leading causes of death and disabilities from chronic diseases and illness. The CHWU’s core mission includes the prevention of premature death and disability caused by chronic diseases, the identification and awareness of risk factors associated with chronic diseases, and to use leadership strategies that address evidence-based policies, systems, and environmental changes. To achieve this mission, the CHWU has cultivated a robust group of New Jersey based stakeholders that collaborate in the identification and reach to high burden populations and communities through funded work. The overarching outcome of all programs and services provided by the NJDOH-CHWU is to improve the quality of life and promote healthier living for all New Jersey residents.

    Funding for the proposed activities is supported by the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (PHHSBG), issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to assist states in meeting public health priorities for residents. The PHHSBG was established by Congress in 1981 (Public Law 97-35) and operated within the United States, Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). It is a mandatory grant given to states as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, authorizing a series of health and social service initiatives. The PHHSBG allows 50 states, 2 American Indian tribes, 8 US territories, and the District of Columbia to address their own unique public health priorities, needs and challenges with innovative and community-driven methods using National Health Objectives selected from Healthy People 2030.

    According to the CDC, 60% of all Americans have at least one chronic condition and 40% have two or more. This RFA builds upon existing statewide implementation of cross-cutting approaches to promote health and prevent and control chronic diseases and their risk factors. Recognizing the vital public health interest in reducing and more effectively treating chronic illnesses, the NJDOH will leverage partnerships with community-based organizations, healthcare systems, and educational sites to focus efforts on addressing chronic disease prevention and improving access to care through the development of community-clinical linkages as well as improvements to the built environment.

    Scope of Work

    The goal of the New Jersey Chronic Disease Prevention Program is to improve the overall health outcomes and quality of life of residents living with arthritis, adults in adult care facilities, as well as adults in tribal communities. residing in New Jersey.

    State of New Jersey Department of Health
    State/Local Government
    New Jersey
    US $25,000 - US $50,000

    Statement of Purpose

    The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is announcing the availability of funds for the Fluoride Varnish, Children’s Education and Screenings (FACES) grant. The overarching goal of the FACES program is to promote good oral health practices for school aged children through application of fluoride varnish as an oral health preventive measure via a voluntary school-based program. Additionally, this grant offers the opportunity to participate in the New Jersey Department of Health Basic Screening Survey for specified populations.

    The infrastructure for this initiative will support new or existing programs in building preventive oral health services, including education programs and Fluoride varnish application for school aged children to promote the importance of oral health. The FACES program will coordinate and implement activities and strategies to address oral health issues affecting children from pre-K through grade 12. These efforts will be guided by a community needs assessment that identifies children at high risk for developing dental decay and other oral health problems.

    Although the primary target population for this grant is school-aged children, other vulnerable groups at higher risk for dental decay—such as elderly individuals residing in assisted living or nursing homes, or pregnant women of lower socioeconomic status—will also be eligible to receive fluoride varnish as an evidence-based preventive measure. The decision to include additional at-risk populations should be made by the State Dental Director or the Program Management Officer, at the request of the applicant.

    The program will utilize the Basic Screening Survey (BSS) to better understand the existing oral health status of specific populations. The BSS is a best practice recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD).

    Executive Summary

    The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Division of Health Promotion – Community Health and Wellness Unit (CHWU) addresses leading causes of death and disability from chronic disease and illness. The core mission of the CHWU is to prevent premature death and disability from chronic disease, to understand the risk factors of chronic disease, and to promote healthy behaviors through leadership efforts that address evidence-based policies, systems, and environmental change. To achieve this mission, the CHWU has cultivated a robust group of partners – clinicians, academicians, community advocates, patients, consumer representatives, business leaders and government agencies – across the state of New Jersey to reach high burden populations and communities and complete funded work. Improved quality of life and extended years of healthy living for New Jersey residents are the overall outcomes for all activities undertaken through CHWU programs and services.

    The Community Health and Wellness Unit’s – Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention Program announces the availability of State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2026 funding and technical assistance for primary care clinics operating in Cumberland, Cape May, Gloucester, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Somerset and Essex counties whose colorectal cancer (CRC) screening prevalence is between 25% and 55%, to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs) and quality improvement (QI) processes to increase CRC screening in eligible and priority populations. This RFA seeks to increase CRC screening among populations aged 45 to 75 years that have lower colorectal cancer screening prevalence. The NJDOH-CCSPP is seeking up to four (4) primary care clinics to adopt strategies that utilize multi-component EBIs to increase CRC screening and to partner with NJDOH-CCSPP by accepting technical assistance, and support for data collection and evaluation activities.

    Funded entities must demonstrate capacity and readiness to implement the program by completing the following:

    • Engage in a formal readiness assessment of funded entities’ capacity to implement EBIs. This assessment will be used to select EBIs that will support improved CRC screening.
    • Implement multicomponent interventions that combine a minimum of three (3) evidence-based interventions (EBI), as recommended in The Community Guide. These EBIs must focus on different areas of the clinical system (which will increase demand, access, and delivery of screening recommendations). The EBIs of priority for this work includes patient reminders, provider reminders and feedback, reducing structural barriers, and patient navigation.
    • Provide high-quality, clinic-level data, including baseline and annual CRC screening prevalence, aggregate data on stool-based tests provided to and returned by patients, and aggregate data on follow-up colonoscopies. Emphasis will be on the capacity to collect data and track the entire CRC screening process patients undergo.
    • Support completion of stool tests and colonoscopies, including tracking and follow-up of colonoscopies for positive stool tests

    In addition to funding and technical assistance, each awardee will have the opportunity to utilize a free patient navigation service supported by NJDOH. The navigators will be deployed to the awardees primary care clinics site and will provide direct patient referrals and outreach via electronic health records (EHR). Leveraging innovative tools, including a patient chat text concierge, the patient navigators will enhance patient engagement, reduce barriers, and empower informed decision-making. Navigators will also coordinate care, track outcomes, schedule screenings, and ensure timely follow-up to promote comprehensive, equitable colorectal cancer prevention and care.

    YWCA Clark County Chan Barnett Scholarship

    Community Foundation for Southwest Washington
    Private
    United States
    US $1,000 - US $4,000

     YWCA Clark County Chan Barnett Scholarship

    The mission of the YWCA Clark County Scholarship is to advance, support and promote education for women returning to the workforce.

    The YWCA Clark County Scholarship was founded in 1994 by Channing R. R. Barnett with the purpose of helping women acquire training they need to become employable and self-sufficient.

    Channing was sixty when she left her marriage. She had been a wife and mother for thirty two years - and worried she had no 'marketable skills' with which to support herself. Conquering her fears, Chan enrolled in Clark College's Displaced Homemakers Program. With the support of other women, Chan began to explore and develop her own talents. Drawing on her strong conviction to 'paddle her own canoe' she decided to make the most of her resources.

    Reading the Wall Street Journal from cover to cover, taking advantage of every free resource she could find, and having the confidence to call investment brokers and ask lots of questions eventually paid off! As Chan said, she went from, "just having my toes in the stock market, then my ankle, and now I'm swimming up to my neck!"

    The support she received from YWCA during this challenging time inspired Chan to start YWCA Scholarship. Her personal success is an inspiration to us all; it is her hope to pass along that inspiration to other women who face similar challenges.

    United States
    US $2,000 - US $3,500

    Roy F. Mather Scholarship

    Born in 1918, Roy F. Mather, Jr. described himself as the product of the Great Depression. He contributed to his family's livelihood at a young age, caring for his two younger brothers and working a wide range of agriculture-related jobs available in California's San Fernando Valley. During World War II, Roy worked on merchant ships that sailed from northern Chile to Washington's Puget Sound, transporting nitrate for explosives production. After the War, Roy returned to southern California to marry his wife, Geraldine. They had two children and were married 59 years. Roy applied the work ethic developed in his youth to a variety of jobs—as a Fuller Brush dealer and at aeronautical engineering positions at Lockheed and McDonald Douglas. While raising a family and often working more than one job, Roy took classes at night offered through the University of California's extension services – math, science and law. Later, Roy and his wife lived in Latin America which held a special place for them.

    Roy retired in 1969, and he and Geraldine moved to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In his early 60's, Roy could swing a heavy Polanski needed to fight forest fires and later was a spotter for firefighting aircraft. In 1975, Roy and Geraldine moved to Vancouver, Washington.

    Roy's character, direction and drive were shaped during times that were much tougher than most of us experience today. In commenting on his hope for his scholarship fund, Roy said, "I want the students to be goal oriented and serious. Earnest, really. I know those are broad terms, but they are ones that helped me throughout my life. I want to reward those students who possess these qualities that will contribute to their future success and life fulfillment."
