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. ​

​

Do you have a passion for breastfeeding/bodyfeeding and want to support our diverse Sacramento lactation community, but need financial assistance?

 

The Sacramento Breastfeeding Coalition is sponsoring two $500 scholarships (to be paid directly to the program) in either of the below areas:

  • a certification in Lactation Education, or

  • the 2026 IBCLC exam fee. 

​

Important Dates:

 

  • Application deadline: August 31, 2025.

  • Recipient informed: Sept 20, 2025.
