Greg Hunter Memorial Fund Scholarship
About the Scholarship
Following the murder of one of the organization’s patrollers Greg Hunter in August of 1990, the Patrol established and solicited public funds for a memorial educational fund to provide scholarship funds for college-aged patrollers, and other young men and women who have supported the patrol’s charitable and educational purposes.
The purpose of this patrol is facilitation of the rescue of and administration of first aid to injured persons; the education and training of the patrol members in first aid, tobogganing and other necessary skills; and the promotion of skiing safety and courtesy.
