The program was developed in 1997 to honor my mom, who lived with
MS for 38 years. My wife, also named Mary, has been living with MS for 25
years. One or two $500.00 scholarships are awarded at each high school,
one to a male and female senior who raises the most funds for MS. Each school’s
program is set up differently. A beautiful engraved plaque is also
presented to each winner to commemorate his or her accomplishment. Nine
scholarships are offered to high school students annually and one offered to
college students annually.
