August 4th, 2012 marks the date for the 6th annual Melanie Harrison Foundation Fundraiser Winery Tour and Dinner Dance - Tickets Still Available 519-738-2698
As
a graduate of the University of Windsor, Melanie Harrison had just completed
her first year of teaching at two Windsor area schools in 2006. In order to honour her memory, her passion
for teaching and her desire to make a difference, the Melanie Jane Harrison Memorial Award for Aspiring Teachers was
established at the University of Windsor. This scholarship assists hard working
students to achieve their goals in the field of teaching. To date, the scholarship has been awarded to
six (6) deserving recipients. Proceeds
from the Melanie Harrison Winery Tour are used to fund the annual U of W
scholarship and to support local charitable needs.
This year their goal is to support programs that help the youth of our
communities by promoting mental health and wellness. They are supporting the new Family Learning
Place through the WE Care for Kids Foundation in Windsor as well as continuing
support of the annual Scholarship Award at the University of Windsor.
