2014 YWPA Scholarship winner

2014 YWPA Scholarship winner Our YWPA Scholarship winner was Candaisy Crawford, a senior at Webster Thomas High School. She is described by her teacher and basketball coach as bright, diligent and affable. Candaisy learned the value of community involvement through her service to others. From the time she was a young child, she has accompanied her mother visiting the sick, serving meals at church funerals, cleaning homes for the elderly and disabled. Candaisy became acquainted with multi-cultural diversity when her home became a global melting pot for therapeutic foster teens who were hard to place.
