Sag Harbor Lions Announce 2017 Scholarship Award-Winners

The Sag Harbor Lion club is proud to announce that three Pierson High School graduating seniors were selected to receive the Sag Harbor Lions Club Scholarship for 2017. Ms. Ella Parker was chosen to receive the top scholarship award of $2,500.00. Ms. Maizy Guyer and Ms. Isabel Peters were chosen to each receive a $1,500.00 award.

The winners will receive their award checks and certificates at the Lions Club’s Scholarship Awards Dinner Meeting at The American Hotel on July 26, 2017.

Lion Mark Poitras, the Chair of the Scholarship Committee stated,

“The Sag Harbor Lions Club is proud to help young people continue their education while dealing with the escalating cost of higher education. It’s a need our club continues to address even though the awards we present are modest. This year we had many excellent applicants, which made our committee’s decision very difficult. The winners demonstrated the highest level of community and school involvement as well as academic achievement.”

The Club's scholarships are presented yearly and are supported through three fundraising events the Lions hold in our community each year: Andy’s Run for a Guide Dog 5K; The Christmas Tree Sale; and the St. Patrick’s Dinner, as well as through private donations. If you wish to support our scholarships, please go to the club’s website sagharborlionsclub.org and scroll down to the donations box. You can also send a check to The Sag Harbor Lions Charitable Trust, PO Box 158, Sag Harbor, NY 11963 and please write “Scholarship” on the memo line.
