Iron Maidens Stay Strong Scholarship

For the 4th year, we are thrilled to continue our partnership with Grace Outreach, a Bronx based nonprofit that works with women to further their education and gain financial independence. Through competitors’ fundraising efforts, the annual Iron Maidens Stay Strong Scholarship assists women without access to financial aid pay for their college tuition.

In total, we have raised over $90,000 to support women pursuing a higher education. We have sent 19 women to college and graduated 5 with Associates degrees, 2 will graduate this year with Bachelors degrees.
