This is a story of how two ordinary people gave back to their community in an extraordinary way. In 1988, Noel and his late wife Cora, a Danbury, Connecticut couple wanted to give back to the community. They wanted their gift to be special and to have significant meaning. Because education had played a key role in their success, the Hords decided to provide scholarships for the education of deserving and disadvantaged youth. That same year, in order to raise funds for that purpose, the Hords hosted a holiday party at their home and asked each guest to contribute $25 to a scholarship fund. The response was overwhelming; they raised $2,700.
Event provided by Hord Foundation alumni to each candidate for a scholarship prior to the scholarship award.

Dear Friends,
Sometimes when you plant a simple seed, you have no idea how it will blossom and flourish. Sometimes you don’t realize the impact of the harvest others will reap as a result of a seed you have sown. Sometimes a community comes together to nourish and grow a powerful seed until it blossoms into a dream realized by thousands.
That’s how it all began. My late wife, Cora, and I decided to partner with a Connecticut branch of the NAACP to award scholarships to African American youth.
