PARENTS OF GANNON
WRESTLER CREATE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The parents of a former Gannon University wrestler have created
a scholarship in memory of their late son.
Charles H. and Marguerite
Stauffer of Pittsburgh recently established the Harry R. Stauffer
Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Gannon University, Erie, Pa. The Stauffers
established the scholarship with an initial gift to the university of more
than $13,000. Nearly $3,000 of the funds was generated from a benefit golf
outing the family held in the fall.
In addition, employees at
Harry Stauffer’s former employer, Medicor Associates in Erie, have made a
contribution to the scholarship, which benefits members of the Gannon
wrestling team who are enrolled in health science programs.
The scholarship is named in honor of
Harry Stauffer, who graduated from Gannon in 1987 with a physician
assistant (bachelor of science) degree. Stauffer, a member of the Gannon
University wrestling team as a student, died in 2003. The scholarship also
is designed for academically qualified students with a demonstrated
financial need.
For more
information on making a contribution to the Harry R. Stauffer Memorial
Endowed Scholarship, call 814-871-7786.
