The Live Your Dream awards were presented to applicants for pursing education and overcoming challenges, said Becky Plymale, Live Your Dream awards co-chairwoman. The funds can be used for child care, gas and other expenses that arise while they continue their studies.

Live Your Dream award winners Ra’naa Billingsley, Alyssa Mainhart and Lucky Giron were honored with a plaque, bouquet, a $1,000 or $1,5000 scholarship, and applause as their stories were told by members of the club.
