Bob Lawhorn Education Fund
Bob Lawhorn was an inspired man who inspired others.
His legacy will continue through the Bob Lawhorn Education Fund, established
to inspire others to fulfill their dreams. Bob, a Norwood High School
graduate, was a spirited man who throughout his life, always cared about
others. With his caring smile, generosity, humor, and real compassion,
Bob reached out to people from all walks of life. His zest for
life was felt by everyone he touched.
Last Spring, Bob passed away after a short, courageous
battle with cancer. With the support of Bob’s wife, Lew Ann, along with many other friends
and family, Bob’s spirit is able to live on through the scholarship
established in his name. To help raise funds, friends and family hosted
the 1st Annual Bob Lawhorn Golf Outing. The event raised more than $180,000
for the scholarship fund. Awarded to a graduate of Norwood High School,
this full tuition scholarship to the University of Cincinnati is renewable
for up to four years of undergraduate enrollment. There is no doubt that
this opportunity will brighten the future of a young student working hard
to pursue his/her educational aspirations.
A self made man, Bob not only valued education but
also the importance to give back to your community. The Bob Lawhorn Education
Funds provides an opportunity for Bob generosity to continue, even after
his passing. There is no doubt that Bob’s spirit and love of life continue
to inspire others. |
