Tanner J Perry Memorial SCHOLARSHIP

The Tanner Perry Memorial Scholarship was established by John and Cathy Perry to honor the memory of their son, who lost a battle with cancer in 2008 at the age of 17. Tanner was described as a courageous fighter with a gentle spirit. During his yearlong fight with cancer, he became a leader-in-training for Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for young people diagnosed with the disease. As a Cashmere High School student, he was an enthusiastic member of the cross country and knowledge bowl teams. Tanner was also involved in the school’s Alpine Club and Leadership Club. He loved hiking to high mountain lakes, mountain biking and snowboarding. He had a gift for math and science and planned on attending college to become a forensic scientist.

Aero Methow Rescue Service

GRANT RECIPIENT

Due to being rural, remote, and geographically isolated, we must be prepared to do more than respond to emergencies. We have become a healthcare partner who fills gaps in service. The grant allowed our board the time and ability to work with a Strategic Planner to modify our plan to address those gaps.

Scholarship Recipient

My father was a migrant agricultural worker who eventually started his own cherry and apple orchard. He told me if I wanted to live a better life, I had to get an education. I plan on starting a career with the Chelan PUD with a passion for renewable energy and in turn give back to my parents and community for supporting my dreams.
