In June of 2006, Glenn and Lisa Newman’s two beloved sons, Ryan (18 years old) and Brett (15 years old) tragically met the end of their lives in a
horrific three-car-head-on collision on one of our county’s most treacherous stretched of highway.  Family, friends, and members of the community
rallied behind Glenn, Lisa and their daughter Kate, to support and care for them during what undeniably was the most fragile period of their collective lives.
 
Stunned and awed at the outpouring of support and love from everyone they came in contact with, Glenn and Lisa searched for a way to reciprocate
and show their community appreciation, in return. And then it came to them. They had just been living through a season in life with their son, Ryan,
where he was preparing for his future. This meant, needing countless necessary funds for moving out and moving on to – college. Glenn and Lisa soon discovered the extraordinary amount of money it would require to send their child off to college and thought if they  could some how help defray
costs for another child it could help set their lives back in motion, for the good.  And so it began. The foundation was realized and their energies were
rerouted and their sons legacy lived on. 

Since 2007 the Newman Family have been putting on a fishing derby each  Father's Day weekend to raise the scholarship funds and this year because of   COVID they were not able to schedule the weekend. Then a few months ago,  Glenn was hospitalized and needed emergency surgery. He is still
recovering.  

What I would like to ask each of us to do is to help them raise the funds they would normally raise (or more) so that next year they are still able to
bless those who are graduating and in need of support, but most of all I'd like to ask you to donate to  the Newman Memorial Scholarship Foundation so that Lisa and their daughter Kate can take care of her Glenn while we (as a community) take care of their foundation.

Please give today.
