When endowed at $25,000, it will provide scholarships for students who are single parents. \u201cMy sisters and I were raised by a single mom,\u201d Poynter said. \u201cNow that my wife Lauren and I are parents of a baby daughter, we realize the difficulties single moms and dads must have juggling school, work and children.
