Thursday night The Beach Kids Foundation hosted their annual scholarship dinner at Bonita Bills. This year 20 beach kids received $1,000 scholarships.
The brand new “Tom and Fran Scholarships” were introduced this year in honor of Tom Myers who recently passed away, and his wife Fran Myers. 2 of the 30 kids received an additional $1,000 scholarships, one in the name of Tom, the other in the name of Fran.
The Beach Kids Foundation was started 25 years agree by a group of local residents including Fran Myers. The focus of the organization is to get the kids from the elementary school and from the island whatever they needed.
