We are pleased to announce the recipients of the 2026 Liam M. Kinne Memorial Scholarship: Neeva Enigk, Joslyn McDaniel, Abigail Gacek, Lillian Albro & Josie Holton.

Congratulations!

On behalf of the Liam M. Kinne Memorial Scholarship Committee, it is our honor to award each of you with the $500 Liam M. Kinne Memorial Scholarship.

This scholarship is more than financial assistance—it is a recognition of the character, compassion, perseverance, and potential you have demonstrated. We hope it serves as both an investment in your future and a reminder that your actions have the power to positively impact the lives of others.

As you all continue your educational journey, we encourage you to pursue your goals with integrity, remain curious, and never underestimate the influence a single act of generosity can have on another person's life. The future is built by individuals who choose to serve, lead, and lift others along the way.

We are proud to recognize each of your achievements and we are excited to see all that you accomplish in the years ahead. May this scholarship serve as a reminder that your education is not only an opportunity to build a successful future, but also a chance to leave a lasting impact on the lives of others.

Congratulations once again, and we wish each of you every success in your future endeavors.

“The greatest legacy we leave is not measured by the years we live, but by the lives we encourage, the kindness we share, and the hope we inspire in others.” - The Liam M. Kinne Foundation

They say a picture speaks a thousand words… But, I believe that this one speaks so many more… There are never enough words that could ever give true tribute to the amount of love and sacrifice that all women have for their children. But, Megan’s story is one that will be spoken of through many lives to come. And it will be about the gift of life.

I’m so proud of Megan and everyone that came in support of her tonight.

What a night!
