Steven Ketcherside Memorial
St. Rose of Lima Scholarship Fund
~ Support Activities ~

Since establishing the Fund in 2004, we have been able to award scholarships totaling $8000 to the deserving students of St. Rose School in Steven's name. With your help we plan to donate much more to help the families at St. Rose of Lima School. Any support given to the Steven Ketcherside Fund is also supporting the school so that it can continue to be an educational option in the De Soto community.

It is not only through the generous donations made directly to the Fund, but your strong support at past events like the ones below that have provided the Steven Ketcherside Fund the ability to award scholarships. We appreciate the generosity and hope you will continue your support in the future.
