MARGATE– The Walter “Ed” Vizthum Scholarship Fund for students at Holy Spirit High School has announced recipients of its 2020 scholarship contest.
Many students from throughout the region applied and all were extremely qualified. Three students who exemplify the Spartan attitude and the spirit of the foundation’s namesake were selected to receive scholarships to Holy Spirit High School for the 2020-2021 school year.
Teresa Pham, 13, of Atlantic City; Nicholas Sarno, 13, of Brigantine; and Oona Freeman, 14, of Pleasantville have each been awarded $1,000 Walter “Ed” Vizthum Scholarships.
“This year, the board was hard-pressed to pick amongst more than a dozen outstanding candidates for scholarships, coupled with the economic reality of having to postpone our third annual Drink ‘n’ Shoes horseshoe tournament,” foundation President Shaun Smith. “We are all extremely proud to award these scholarships and look forward to watching these students flourish in the Spartan community.”
The organization’s third annual Drink ‘n’ Shoes scheduled for this month at Holy Spirit High School but is now postponed to fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event, which was held at the Margate Log Cabin for two years is the primary fundraiser for the nonprofit organization.
