The Riley Garbe Scholarship is awarded to young men and women who have overcome adversity in their lives and are now on a mission to give back to others. Due to such great candidates, we decided to select two recipients this year.
The first recipient, Tayah Conrad, has an incredible story of bravery, perseverance, hope, and compassion. She grew through adversity and is using her experience as an inspiration to become a NICU nurse, helping babies and caring for their families as they navigate a difficult journey.
The second recipient, Jack Vosters, is a young man who made lemonade out of lemons. After suffering an injury that sidelined him from the sports he loves, he found new ways to contribute to his teams. Instead of giving up or being bitter, he became a leader and a supporter of his teammates. He saw his unfortunate situation as an opportunity to experience sports from a different perspective, and now he has the goal of becoming a coach and touching many lives through sports.
They are pictured here with Riley Garbe during the scholarship awards night. This scholarship is made possible by the late Bill Welter.
