Ellis Popiolkowski Scholarship Fund

07/10/2023

Ellis was a huge EDM fan. He was his happiest when he was at a music festival with his buddies. I made T-shirts in honor of Ellis because I knew that they would come in handy when his family or friends wanted to bring him along to something they use to share witn him.

Thanks Shane for sending me this last night. It made my whole weekend.

We wanted to share our first scholarship recipient!

She is Virginia Pham from Canon McMillan High School Class of 2023. She was awarded $2500

She is a amazing young lady!

The qualifications for Ellis Popiolkowski Scholarship Fund were to be a student athlete and to have a 3.5 or higher grade point average.

Good luck to Virginia and her future endeavors. Whatever they may be!

“In one of those stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing.And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night.

And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows)
you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend...I shall not leave you.”
