Kismet or destiny, it was evident it was a meant-to-be relationship when donor Pat (DeCoursey) Cercos and her scholarship recipient, Erika Matson, met for the first time this past June. The two were instant friends, sharing stories and laughs, hopes and dreams. When the Community Foundation scholarship committees select recipients, great care is taken to make selections that best fit the award for which the student is being chosen. Never have these efforts been more apparent than the day Pat and Erika met.
