The Gulf Shores Woman’s Club will award $10,000 in college scholarships to students from Gulf Shores-Orange Beach and Foley High Schools from the proceeds of its annual Tour of Homes held in February of this year.

They and the local residents and visitors who purchased tickets made it possible for us to continue our scholarship program and donations to other educational and charitable organizations. ”
In addition to the scholarships, monetary grants will made to the South Baldwin Education Foundation, After School Tutoring, the Gulf Shores Elementary Music Program, Care House, Gulf Shores Library, All About Dogs, the Starfish Swim Team, and the Orange Beach Elementary Program/ Sea, Sand and Stars.
