Class of ‘83 Memorial Scholarship - Keeping the Dream Alive

Hello Classmates the time has come once again for us to give back to our hometown. We ask that everyone that is able donate to the C/O ‘83 Memorial Scholarship Fund. We are asking that you give what you can, but know that we are shooting for at least $1,500.

This scholarship started as the vision of our beloved classmate the late Rico Williams. We are honored and happy to continue the legacy she created. With all the loss that has happened to so many of our classmates over the past few months, its only fitting to continue honoring their memories by giving back to our beloved hometown school.

Over the past 9 years your generosity has blessed more than 34 students with over $15,000. You guys are awesome. Its time to continue this program. Please see the links below to donate. This year, we are expanding the options. We will still use GoFundMe and also CashApp as well.

Our goal this year is $1500 to bless 4 students with 1 - $500, 1 - $400, and 2 - $300 gift cards. But as always, anything over that amount will go to other students in $200 increments. Point contacts are myself, Tracy Mosely, Yolanda Shields and Nathaniel Prevost for Houston Area. Lawrence Getwood for the PA/Beaumont area. Keithen Collins for the DFW metroplex. Please forward this link to classmates that may not be on Facebook.

The fundraiser will run until May 7, 2025. Lets show that generous spirit Class of ‘83.
