2024-25 Scholarship Winner
At the Fall 2009 general meeting, it was decided to begin a scholarship
fund for area athletes. This program began in the Spring of 2010. The scholarships are non-gender
specific, and the winners are voted on by the membership. We are pleased to
announce the recipient of this award for 2024-25: Madeline Young, Buchanan High School. Madeline is dual enrolled at Southwestern Michigan College and will attend there next year to complete her Associates degree. She will then attend Central Michigan University working toward a Master's in Early Childhood Education. She competed in Cross Country, Basketball and Track as well as working as a teacher assistant 2 days a week at their elementary school and was a contestant for Buchanan's Blossomtime queen.
