Joe Dumphy would be graduating from North Forsyth High School next week, marking a somber and poignant milestone in the brief history of the scholarship that has carried on his legacy in the aftermath of his passing three years ago.
This year’s winners were Forsyth Central’s Noah Gurr; West Forsyth’s Jacob Hobbs; Lambert’s Kate Owens; North Forsyth’s Jackson Boone, Griffin Orzech and Brayden Smith; Habersham Central’s Cooper Roland; and Camden County’s Thacher Neal.
The foundation is able to provide the scholarships due to the generosity of the community, fundraising efforts, family donations and the success of a memorial golf tournament, which be held this year at Chestatee Golf Club on Saturday, Sept. 8. In three years, the foundation has awarded more than $32,000 in scholarships.
