History of our Scholarship Program

The Youth Achievers Award Program was established in 1977 by Deborah Collins Crawford. It later evolved into the Salute to Youth Program.  Youth are recognized for academic excellence, artistic development, school participation, athletic achievement, church participation, and/or civic participation.
