Notable Quotes
“ As a leader in health and wellness, we’re committed to helping people reach their potential. Supporting individuals’ efforts to improve their lives through education, particularly within disadvantaged communities, was a natural outgrowth of that goal. ”
Terrence Moorehead, CEO at Nature’s Sunshine
“ As a first-generation college student myself, I understand first-hand the transformative power of higher education. Continuing our partnership with Nature’s Sunshine will allow us to provide multiple scholarships to first-generation students, but the impact will certainly transform more than these individuals’ lives. ”
