The 2022 Hopkins County Freedom Ball was graciously supported this year by various families and businesses in the community who donated to the organization’s scholarship fund. The first Hopkins County Veterans Patriot Scholarship is awarded to a student in Hopkins County who is involved in activities that support veterans in our community – like organizing or working at the Veterans Day School Program, or volunteering at the “Wall that Heals” event held back in the fall.
On behalf of the Hopkins County Veterans Memorial Freedom Ball, Como-Pickton CISD Assistant Superintendent Lydia Walden presented a $500 Hopkins County Veterans Patriot Scholarship to senior Kara Tifft.
