The Barrett Strong Foundation

🎓Congratulations to our Community Scholarship Winners! 🎓

🥊The Barrett Fitzsimmons Memorial Scholarship was presented on behalf of the foundation by Barrett’s grandfather, Mr. Jeff Hobby, to two very deserving Northwestern seniors, AJ Grieser and Claire Stott.

The Foundation is honored to continue Barrett’s legacy through this scholarship, which is awarded annually to a graduating senior at Northwestern High School.

Congratulations, AJ and Claire, and thank you to the Fitzsimmons family and foundation for their continued support of students and education in our community! 💙❤️
