Innovative Long Beach Program to Help Paralyzed Veterans Secure Good Jobs and Careers in a Tough Economy

LONG BEACH, CA— With the national unemployment rate for veterans with severe disabilities at 85 percent, a unique Long Beach program aims to make a difference, helping those who wore the uniform and were seriously injured, get good jobs and careers in a tough economy.

Officially opening on December 2, the Long Beach Paralyzed Veterans of America Vocational Rehabilitation Office will empower veterans with disabilities with the services and tools they need to reintegrate into the job market—while matching them with businesses and organizations with career positions.

Join Paralyzed Veterans of America’s National Vice President Al Kovach and former U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Honorable Anthony Principi, who now serves as QTC’s Executive Chairman, and Betty B. Louie, President of The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation for the launch of this important initiative. Speakers will include VA officials, local business leaders, paralyzed veterans who have secured good jobs through the program’s existing offices around the nation, and veterans with disabilities from the Southern California area who are already enrolled in the Long Beach program.

The office, part of an emerging network, is based at the Long Beach VA Medical Center. It is being established through an innovative public-private partnership between Paralyzed Veterans of America, The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation, QTC Management, Inc., and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Betty Louie speaking on December 2, 2009, at the opening ceremony of the Long Beach Paralyzed Veterans of America Vocational Rehabilitation Office sponsored in part by The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation.

THE KIM AND HAROLD LOUIE FAMILY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 2009 LOUIE SCHOLARS

32 outstanding students receive scholarships totaling $100,000

BURLINGAME, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 —The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation announced today that it has granted scholarships totaling $100,000 to 32 outstanding high school seniors and college students throughout the United States. This year, the Foundation received a record number of applications, more than twice the number from the previous year. The Foundation granted scholarship awards to less than 9% of the applicants. Applicants included valedictorians, student leaders, recent immigrants, many of whom will be the first in their families to attend college, and others who have overcome great adversity. Choosing scholarship recipients this year was obviously difficult, and made more so because of the increased demonstrated needs attributable primarily to the economic and financial hardships currently facing many Americans.

“We believe each of our 2009 Louie Scholars represents someone who has demonstrated great potential to make a significant impact in the lives of others or in their chosen fields of study. We are also proud that our 2009 Louie Scholars come from both genders and diverse racial backgrounds and economic circumstances, and hail from all over the country,” said Betty B. Louie, The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation’s Founder and Chair of the Board of Directors. “Our scholars are chosen for their demonstrated leadership, scholastic achievement, involvement in their respective communities, financial need, and the ability to overcome adversity. Extra consideration was also given to the children of United States veterans and students with special needs.”

The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation is committed to providing higher educational opportunities to those who have aspirations to better themselves and to make a difference in the lives of others, with special emphasis on youths from underprivileged and underserved communities and from families of U.S. veterans.
