Congratulations to the Winners of the Living for Zachary 2011 Scholarships


The Purpose of  the Living for Zachary Foundation was to raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) as well as promote preventative and corrective measures.

Zachary Schrah planned to pursue a profession in the medical industry, and this scholarship honors his memory by recognizing and supporting Plano Independent School District students that desire to pursue post-secondary education in the medical profession.

Hats off to the following young women who received the Living for Zachary Scholarships. What a pleasure it was to read the applications, learn about each on of the applicants and are excited about what these girls will do in the future. Stay tuned because we will hear great things about these girls!

  1. Thank you for some other informative blog. Where else could I get that type of information written in such an ideal means? I have a mission that I’m just now working on, and I have been at the look out for such information.
