Cane Bay 2011 Hope Haven Award

Hi

My Name is Steven Lee

Denise wanted to be here yet instead she is resting after surgery today.

This scholarship is continuing a tradition began in 2007 in Seattle Washington.

Each year we give a percentage of our profit to a senior in a creative program in our local high school.

This year we chose to honor a band student, next year it will be open to all fine arts.

As a requirement of the award the student must be recognized by his director as well as school administration for leadership, having good moral character a kind heart and financial need.

While there are actually several seniors who fit this classification, it was a difficult choice.

The recipient of 2011 HOPE HAVEN Photography scholarship for $250 is

Justin Simmons.

Hope Haven Photography Scholarship

Hope Haven Photography Scholarship lives on.

"Some days the road is lit and the way is easy, other days the path is dark and the going rough. Fear no darkness, be the lighthouse.

The storm will come and there’ll be no shelter, stand tall and let your light shine. Be the lighthouse.

It is said that which doesn’t destroy you can only make you stronger, free your mind and choose to be the lighthouse.

One thought can change the entire universe." - Steven Coffing

Continuing a tradition we began in Seattle, we are getting to award a graduating senior with a small scholarship to help with books, ect. This scholarship does not mean the recipient must take part in photography, just higher education.

Steven will be presenting the award tomorrow night at the Cane Bay High School's Senior award night.

Our scholarship award is based on Leadership, Good Moral Character, a Kind Heart and Financial need. There were actually several students who fit this criteria.

So the graduating senior from Cane Bay High School Band who will receive this award is..... Stay tuned.
