Annual Scholarship Awards Reception
Each year we invite scholarship fundholders and scholarship awardees to come together for a very special event, the Scholarship Awards Reception and Ice Cream Social. We bring together students and their families with the Fundholders who made their scholarships possible. Lots of warm and happy meetings mixed with cold ice cream sundaes make for a unique event, exclusive to THCF.
