We are proud to highlight Kailey Gandolfo, a 2026 Pedrozzi Scholar who will be attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this fall to major in Liberal Studies!

At Cal Poly, Kailey hopes to continue giving back to her community and explore everything the campus has to offer, from making friends to joining clubs. She is inspired by the Bland family’s legacy and is excited to use what she learns from her community to support her future students as an elementary school teacher. Kailey says:

“I want to extend my deepest appreciation for being such gracious donors and not only helping me, but also the entire Livermore community. This scholarship will help me so much in my journey through college. It will help to inspire me to always know there are people supporting me as well as pushing me to always give back. I was ecstatic to know that I had been chosen for a donor award knowing that my hard work and dedication in these past four years paid off..”

Kailey expresses her sincere thanks to the Bland Family and the Pedrozzi Foundation for helping make this next chapter of her life possible.

Congratulations, Kailey! We wish you all the best at Cal Poly this fall.
