SPONSOR REGISTRATION

DONATE TO THE ERICA AND CARA THORN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND

If paying by check, please make check payable to: Eric and Cara Thorn Memorial Scholarship and mail to Foundation for Community Partnerships, 102 Chester Village, Chester, MD 21619.

On November 17, 1998, 16-yr-old Eric and 13-yr-old Cara were killed in a car accident on their way to school. To keep alive the memory of what outstanding students and caring people they were, a scholarship fund was set up to benefit worthy graduating seniors in Calvert County. The scholarship winners must demonstrate not only high academic achievement, but participate in school and sports activities and be involved in projects that serve others and their community. The criteria are demanding, but the awardees must be students who have achieved the academic and personal excellence that Eric and Cara epitomized. To date the fund has awarded over 100 scholarships to deserving Calvert County high school students.

Each year we raise money for the scholarships through the Eric and Cara Thorn Memorial Golf Tournament. This will be the fifteenth year of the event. The tournament will be held on Friday, June 21st at Twin Shields Golf Club in Owings (doughnuts, coffee, and registration start at 7:30 am; putting contest to follow; tee-time is 8:30 am). The cost is $100, which includes greens fees, golf cart, prizes, and lunch (catered by Adam's Ribs). Please register early, because each of our past tournaments have sold out. Most of the profit from the event comes from sponsors, who donate $100 and receive a sign with their name or their business name set up on the golf course.
