“Ensuring Pam’s legacy of caring for others is Why I Give to the Montgomery College Foundation.”

- Bill Hard, Montgomery College Foundation Donor

Generosity of time and generosity of spirit are foundational values for our family. My wife, Pam, practiced as a nurse for 10 years and then elected to stay at home and raise our three children. In addition to her role as mother, she sought opportunities to care for others through involvement in local schools, our church, and as a hospice volunteer. I established the Pamela R. Hard General Nursing Scholarship in 2016 to honor and recognize her caring and nurturing spirit. My meetings with her scholarship recipients have only reinforced my desire to help the many deserving future nurses who will enter the nursing program at Montgomery College.

Pam passed away in 2020 and left a legacy of caring with everyone she met. I established the Pamela Hard, RN Nursing Lab in 2022 to support the expansion of the nursing program at Montgomery College. The lab will be open for the fall 2023 semester and will allow future nurses access to hands-on training. For the second time, I found a meaningful gift to honor my wife and support individuals who I know will have an impact through their own work.

Ensuring Pam’s legacy of caring for others is Why I Give to the Montgomery College Foundation. I hope you will join me.
