Scholarship fund receives Road Rally proceeds
The 2016 GreeneScene Road Rally, presented exclusively by Fox Ford of Waynesburg last month, raised $1,450 for the Waynesburg Area Chamber of Commerce Scholarship fund.
“The Chamber is grateful that our Scholarship Fund was selected by Fox Ford as the recipient of the road rally proceeds,” said Melody Longstreth, executive director of the Waynesburg Area Chamber of Commerce.
“We hope that this will allow us to expand our scholarship offering in 2017 to increase the amount of our award or to possibly fund a second scholarship.”
The fund presented its 26th annual Educational Scholarship to Lindsey Gilbert of Waynesburg this past May.
Twenty-three cars and 60 people were registered for the event which concluded with a dinner and awards ceremony at the Fox Ford Showroom.
“We had a great event, I think everyone had fun, and it’s always rewarding to help a worthy cause such as the Chamber’s Scholarship fund,” said Mark Fox, owner of Fox Ford.
The road rally winners received cash prizes provided by Fox Ford. First place and $300 went to Eric Wilson Team; second place and $150 was captured by Murray Hoy Team; and the third-place award and $100 went to the Eric Popp Team.
The 2017 GreeneScene Road Rally scholarship benefit has tentatively been scheduled to be held on the first Saturday of October.
