🏫📚 Our foundation was honored to host its annual scholarship awards dinner this evening at St Raphael's Episcopal Church, presenting 26 scholarships worth $1,000 each to incredible island students. Island historian and beach kid herself, Ellie Bunting shared a beautiful story to kick off the ceremony, and dinner was provided by the ever-talented Kevin Paradiso, with the assistance of his lovely wife, Jenny Tardiff-Paradiso. Special scholarships were awarded for $1,000 each by Fran Myers (in loving memory of her husband, Tom), and Gini Myers (in living memory of her mother, Roxie). We are elated for the continued education of our Island Beach Kids, and proud to stand by them, their families, and the rest of this beautiful community! Thank you all for your love and support — we couldn’t do this without you!
