The Ethan Joner Toy Room at Fostering Hope Delco is restocked! Thank you so much to the swim clubs that participated in our 4th Christmas in July Toy Drive, and everybody who donated. Your generosity is what made this drive another success.

Ethan was a passionate swimmer and LOVED the Folcroft Stingrays. The Delco Swimming and Diving League has a yearly scholarship for graduating seniors…one from each division. This year would have been Ethan’s senior year, so the Ethan Joner Memorial Foundation matched all 4 scholarships doubling the amount each senior received. We’re excited to continue this partnership going forward and honor Ethan’s love of swimming for years to come!

Congratulations to the winners of Delco Swimming & Diving League’s Ethan Joner Memorial Scholarship 2026! We wish you all the best.

Our scholarship selection process did not align with Academy Park’s Awards Night this year, so we improvised. Tonight we hosted a Scholarship Dinner to formally present our 2026 recipient Elizabeth Amos with her award. We had a lovely evening with our board, the Joner Family, Elizabeth, and her family and friends. Congratulations again to Elizabeth and best of luck at West Chester University!

And thank you to our supporters. It’s because of you that we were able to award these scholarships and continue to honor Ethan’s memory in this way.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Amos, recipient of the $27,000 Ethan Joner Memorial Scholarship 2026!

Elizabeth embodies the kindness, compassion, and selflessness that Ethan lived every day. Inspired by Ethan’s legacy, she led her school’s blood drive, opened her home to families in need, served as manager of the baseball team he loved, helped neighbors by shoveling snow, and continues working to keep her community clean through volunteer efforts.

Through her dedication to helping others feel supported, valued, and safe, Elizabeth has made a meaningful difference in her school and community. We are proud to honor her commitment to service with this year’s Ethan Joner Memorial Scholarship. Elizabeth plans to attend West Chester University to pursue a degree in Early Education. Congratulations Elizabeth! We wish you all the best!
