I am entering my senior year at The Ohio State University, studying operations management in the Fisher College of Business. Coming from a family of four children, I have had to work year- round while attending school full-time to help pay for college. Through your generosity, I will be able to complete my bachelor’s degree in four years. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.” Kaetlin Henderson Fort Collins, Colorado University of Denver Daughter of Cherine Henderson, ProCorp Images Lee Holmes Littleton, Colorado Brigham Young University Son of Stephen Holmes, 4Impact Inc. “Thank you so much for the scholarship. My parents have owned a promotional products company for 20-plus years. I have been able to help them throughout the years, beginning with assisting on fulfillment projects to most recently managing the warehouse, including the shipping and receiving for all company stores, as well as updating the company website. I hope to one day take over the operations of their business when they retire. In the meantime, I am studying business finance at school to understand the ins and outs of owning a company.” John Holtgrewe Paducah, Kentucky University of Louisville Son of Veronica Holtgrewe, Hultman Sabrina Kwok Jacksonville, Florida University of South Florida Daughter of Victor Kwok, Pilot Pen Corporation Callie Lindsay Amsterdam, New York Clarkson University Daughter of Paul Lindsay, Amsterdam Printing Robert Ludwig III Milford, Connecticut University of Connecticut Son of Robert Ludwig II, Augusta Sportswear, Inc. “I am beyond grateful to have received this scholarship and to have discovered such a positive organization.
