Hello everyone! We are very excited and happy to let you all know that because of all of your donations we were able to award the 1st Courtney Saunders Memorial Scholarship to a young lady graduating from Horseheads High School. She lost her father in her sophomore year and as you can imagine had a tough time. She is going to further her education and is pursuing a Nursing degree. We tried very hard to make sure that we could award a scholarship this year in honor of Courtney, and with the help of Jen Bryant and many other it happened! We will continue to give away a scholarship each year to a graduating student that has had to overcome hardship in their lives. This is where we need your help. We are trying to give back to the community that has helped us so much through these last 4 1/2 years and inspires other to “pay it forward” so if you would like or know others that are interested we have set up the:

Courtney Saunders Memorial Scholarship Fund

Horseheads Central School District

One Raider Lane

Horseheads, N.Y. 14845

Donations can be made directly to the fund or we are doing some fundraising of our own. We are selling bracelets in honor of Courtney, they are black with pink lettering (that glow in the dark) they are $5.00 each and ALL profits will go directly to the Scholarship Fund. Orders can be placed by emailing me at saunders4@peoplepc.com they come in one size. I will send you information and our address to place your orders.

We understand that many of you have given so much already and we thank you! Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you know that would like to help us “pay it forward”.

With love and best regards,

Sherry, Paul, Halie & Courtney in Heaven
