Sun Lakes (Evening) Lions Present Scholarship to Perry High School (CUSD) Student
Chris Linder, Public Relations
Lions Suzanne Campbell and Chris Linder attended the CED Scholarship Celebration at Perry High School to present Perry High School student Christelle Ta the John Herdt Memorial Scholarship of $1,000 per year for four years for continued college education. Christelle will be attending Arizona State University to pursue a degree in graphic design.
Those in attendance were greeted by the sounds of music from the Perry High School musicians. This was followed by a small breakfast prepared by students from the Culinary Arts CTE program located on campus.
Helping young people continue their education is one of the challenges our community faces, and it’s a need the Sun Lakes (Evening) Lions Club continues to address. We are also extraordinarily grateful for the support and contributions we receive from our club’s Fly the Flag fundraiser program. You are helping us make a difference.
In addition to Christelle’s scholarship, the club also provides three other students with a $1,000 scholarship for each of four years.
