Lily of the Valley Scholarship Fund

Dear Friends and Community,

In the wake of the recent tragic loss of our beloved Lily, we are reaching out to you with heavy hearts but hopeful spirits. Lily was a bright light in our lives, and though she may no longer be with us physically, we are determined to keep her memory alive in a meaningful way.

The Story: Lily was not just a daughter, a niece, a friend, or a coworker; she was a ray of sunshine in our lives. Her passion for floral design blossomed during her time at Hopewell Valley Central High School, where she discovered her talent while participating in the co-op program. Working alongside us at Dahlia in Pennington, she amazed us with her skill, dedication, and that infectious smile that could brighten anyone's day. Beyond her love for floral design, Lily had a deep affection for animals. She found joy and solace in caring for her pets and poured her heart into it.

The Need: In honor of Lily's memory and her love for both floral designs. We are establishing the Lily of the Valley Scholarship. This scholarship will support high school seniors who, like Lily, may not be on the traditional path to a four-year college but have shown exceptional talent and dedication in Co-Op, Work Based Learning Programs.

The Goal: Our goal is to create a lasting legacy for Lily by providing financial assistance to students graduating from Hopewell Valley Central High School and pursuing successful careers or businesses in vocational fields. We aim to raise $10,000 to establish the scholarship fund and ensure that Lily's spirit lives on through the achievements of future students.
