Karen Evon
Memorial Scholarship
As a coalition, we strive to promote and celebrate diversity in the field of human lactation. In 2021 we launched the Karen Evon Scholarship as way to both honor a longtime Sacramento lactation professional and as a way to support diversity in the lactation community in Sacramento. Karen Evon passed in late 2023 but her legacy will live on forever. In 2024 we changed the name of the scholarship to the Karen Evon Memorial Scholarship. ​
