BILLY CUNNINGHAM MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

BILLY CUNNINGHAM MEMORIAL FOUNDATION BILLY CUNNINGHAM LOVED LAKE SUNAPEE, AND WE LOVED BILLY CUNNINGHAM. GREGARIOUS, GENEROUS, AND VERY, VERY FUNNY, BILLY HAD UNIQUE PRESENCE AND ENERGY. WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, A GROUP OF HIS FRIENDS CAME TOGETHER TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO HONOR HIS LIFE AND CELEBRATE HIS PASSIONS. THE BILLY CUNNINGHAM MEMORIAL FOUNDATION IS A RECOGNIZED 501(C)3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO IMPROVING, CONSERVING AND PROTECTING LAKE SUNAPEE AND ITS SURROUNDING ENVIRONS. WE THINK BILLY WOULD HAVE LIKED IT. AT THE END OF EACH SCHOOL YEAR, WE ACCEPT SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS FROM HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE A PASSION FOR THE WATER AND AN INTEREST IN PURSUING STUDIES IN FRESHWATER MARINE BIOLOGY, OCEANOGRAPHY, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE. ONE STUDENT SCHOLAR RECIPIENT IS SELECTED BY THE BCMF BOARD OF DIRECTORS EVERY JUNE 10 -- BILLYS BIRTHDAY -- AND USE OF THE 1,000 SCHOLARSHIP PROCEEDS IS ENTIRELY AT THE RECIPIENTS DISCRETION.
