CHAMBER FOUNDATION AWARDS FOUR $1,000 COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS TO LOCAL SENIORS
Four local high school seniors were each awarded a $1,000 scholarship, which will be used to further their education. “The Troy/Maryville/St. Jacob/Marine Chamber 501c3 Foundation was established to award scholarships each year to local high school students” said Dawn Mushill, Executive Director. “The Foundation had a very successful Fore! The Foundation event in 2021 so we were able to increase our awards to four scholarships” said Mushill. Award criteria is based on the students’ community service, letters of recommendation and scholastic grades.
There were three 2022 scholarship winners from Triad High School (Amanda Beuth, Camryn Howze and Sophia Miller) and one 2022 scholarship winner from Father McGivney High School (Olivia Jackson). The students were presented their awards at their school assemblies in May.
The Chamber Foundation will be hosting two fundraisers in 2022 for the 2023 scholarships. The first event will be the 3rd Annual Fore! The Foundation Golf Scramble, which will take place on Friday, October 7, at Oak Brook Golf Course in Edwardsville. Currently there is room for teams, sponsors, tee signs and volunteers. Last year’s event was a sellout!
The other Chamber Foundation fundraiser will take place on Saturday, November 12, where CMA, ACM and Grammy Award Winning Artist Bryan White will be performing at Time Out in Troy. Bryan’s special guest for the evening will be the Shotgun Creek Band.General admission tickets are available for $10. VIP tickets, which include general admission, buffet and draft beer, can be purchased for $50. A variety of sponsorships levels are also available and all sponsorship level attendees will be part of the Meet & Greet with both Bryan White and the Shotgun Creek Band. There are a limited number of tickets for this event. Only those 21 and over will be able to attend.
