‘Remember Sam Poss’ scholarship fund close to raising $1,000
With five days left to go in their fundraiser, the organizers of the Sam Poss Memorial Scholarship Fund are hoping to reach their goal of selling at least 150 “Remember Sam Poss” shirts.
The fund honors Sam Poss, a former Perry High School band member who was killed in 2016, and will be used for an annual award for a Perry band percussionist. The fund has currently raised $720 as of Monday afternoon.
Patrons can support the fund by buying a unisex t-shirt, hooded sweatshirt or crewneck. The prices for the items range from $22 to $30. Donations without purchases are also accepted.
