Krysta Hankee Memorial Presents $4,000 in Funds to LCCC Students

A total of $4,000 in scholarship awards from the Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund (KHMF) were presented to Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) students at an awards luncheon held on May 4. Students who were selected exemplified a high degree of scholarship, friendship, leadership and service. The students and guests were joined by members of the Krysta Hankee board of directors.

This award is given in memory of Krysta Hankee, daughter of Bill and Chris Hankee and sister of Kyle Hankee. Krysta lived in the Lehigh Valley most of her life and took classes at LCCC. She graduated from New York University in 2007. A few months after beginning her short career at Triangle Equities in Whitestone, NY, she collapsed in a gym and passed away a few days later. The Hankee family is proud of these scholars for exemplifying many of the same community building traits found in Krysta.
