On Sunday, July 28, we were delighted to distribute the $54,500 in funds raised through our 2024 Rotary Strathcona Hoop-A-Thon fundraiser to our worthy recipients:
- $41,000 in Scholarships to 9 graduating students (pictured above); and
- $13,500 for Youth Leadership Projects, including Strathcona Basketball, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), Girls Who LEAP and Boys Who RISE programs.
Infinite thanks to our project leader Gary Chomyn for his unmatched dedication and hard work in building and leading our signature service project for the past decade, and thank you to our Hoop-a-thon Scholarship Committee members Lorri and Frances. 
Eric Ming Community Hero Scholarship Awards were also handed out to two of our Strathcona Interactors Chloe Huang and Alex Lui who are pictured below with Ron, youth champion Mitra Tshan, Eric’s brother Alex and his daughter Mia.
