Inaugural Dacula High School Win for Wyn Foundation Scholarships Awarded

The scholarships were overwhelmingly generously sponsored by the Dacula Business Association, , and .

The Win for Wyn Foundation is a non-profit foundation focused on rewarding Gwinnett County football seniors who exemplify strength, determination, and character both on and off the field. The foundation is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young football players through providing college scholarships that instill belief, provide inspiration, and give hope. The foundation nourishes continuing relationships with past recipients and plays a pivotal role as they venture into college life and beyond.

The foundation was started by football defensive coordinator Tommy Scott and his wife Stephanie in memory of their son, Wyn. Wyn Scott was born prematurely in 1999. Complications led to a brief but memorable life for the Scotts' only son. The scholarship provides for students that showed exceptional strength, determination, and character...the same character traits exemplified by their son in his brief 25 days of life.

The primary source of funding for the Scholarships was where specific local restaurants donate 10 percent of the proceeds on Wednesdays during a given month to The Win for Wyn Foundation. The Dacula Community's support of Win for Wyn Wednesdays is greatly appreciated.
