In recognition of Cleaning for a Reason’s 20th anniversary, the Cleaning for a Reason Debbie Sardone Scholarship was established to honor the visionary leadership, enduring influence, and profound impact of the organization’s founder, Debbie Sardone.

The scholarship bears Sardone’s name to reflect the values she represents; resilience, integrity, service to others, and the belief that one person’s vision can create a lasting impact. It stands as a tribute to her commitment to lifting others up and investing in the next generation of leaders.

As the organization marks two decades of compassion and service, this scholarship honors not only the legacy Sardone established, but the lasting influence she continues to have. Eligibility is limited to owners and employees of Cleaning for a Reason partner companies and their immediate family members. Applications are open until April 20, 2026.
