2020 has been a difficult year for many, including musicians. Relying heavily on live performances as a source of income, the arrival of COVID-19 meant that performing in person for a live audience was out of the question. In response to the struggle that many musicians are currently facing, the Kyle Pavone Foundation worked with the Battle Creek Community Foundation to establish the Kyle Cares Scholarship in order to help ease the financial burden of COVID-19. Up to $1,000 will be awarded per applicant until scholarship funds are exhausted. In honor of our son Kyle Pavone, we wanted to do something that would help musicians during this time of great need, said Vince and Caroline Pavone, parents of Kyle Pavone. Even under normal circumstances, the life of a musician can be a lot to handle, and the current situation we re living in only amplifies that struggle. We thought the best thing we could do, what Kyle would want us to do, is to help musicians who are facing difficult times
