Announcing the Cleaveland Family Memorial Scholarship

Updated: Apr 16, 2021


Bob Cleaveland and Merle Palmer were two peas in a pod. Like Merle, Bob also worked in insurance and was dedicated to serving the youth in his community. At about the same time Merle and Rev. Al started Palmer Scholars, Bob and two friends co-founded the Washington State chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, granting wishes to youth with life-threatening illnesses.


Though this work kept him busy, Bob also served as a founding Board Member at Palmer Scholars and remained active with his wife, Deanna, until his passing in February 2018. To commemorate his life of service, Deanna has established the Cleaveland Family Memorial Scholarship, supporting Palmer Scholars for many years to come.

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
