April 13, 2007, is a day that those who were lucky enough to attend the April Hood Hargett Breakfast Club Meeting will never forget. Speaker Liz Murray, whose story of triumph over adversity earned two standing ovations from her audience that day, also inspired company owner and Fund founder Chuck Hood to rename – on the spot! – the Hood Hargett Breakfast Club Student Athlete Program to the Liz Murray Scholarship Fund. Established to recognize local students who distinguish themselves on the playing field, in the classroom and in the community, the fund has, to date, awarded more than $145,000 to some 130 local high school students to further their education through the Hood Hargett organization. How the Liz Murray Scholarship Fund works Each month during the school year (September through May), HHBC awards a $1,000 scholarship to the Liz Murray Scholarship Fund winner at its monthly Breakfast meeting, held at Carmel Country Club. That month’s winner is invited to be a part of this Breakfast, where they are introduced and recognized from the podium before being invited to sit with the guest speaker at the head table. The student’s parents, high school principal and coach are also invited and encouraged to attend. One of the nine Fund winners is further recognized each year as the Liz Murray Scholarship Fund Student Athlete of the Year, winning an additional $ 5,000 scholarship. All that year’s winners are invited to this event and are recognized once again for their accomplishments. Applicants for the Liz Murray Scholarship Fund come from a number of sources, including nominations by:
Selection of the Liz Murray Scholarship Fund winner is determined by a group of business owners who are not members of the Hood Hargett Breakfast Club. | |
