Community Announcement: Kent J. Riley Charitable Fund awards eight scholarships for 2022 to Lex students

The Kent J. Riley Charitable Fund (a federally-recognized 501(c)(3) organization), has awarded eight scholarships for 2022.  The Kent J. Riley Memorial Scholarship, named for a Lexington dad, coach and accomplished scientist, was designed for Lexington and Bedford undergraduate students who participated in youth sports and plan to major in a STEM, medical, or health related field of study. This year’s recipients are Amy Agne, Marisa Boni, Piper Schneider, Dilara Bahadir, Allison Libby, Lilly Mackenzie, Sandy Raman and Hannah Steinbrecher, all of Lexington.  The total of $20,000 awarded this year brings the total awards in Dr. Riley’s name since 2015 to $115,000.  After a two-year hiatus, we were able to host our winners at our annual fundraiser to celebrate their on and off field accomplishments.  Please see kjrfund.org for information about the scholarship or our organization.
