Cammie Hall Sanders Memorial Scholarship Award

We are delighted to announce this new memorial scholarship honoring the life of Cammie Hall Sanders, a devoted mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend who passed away in 2023 after a courageous twelve-year battle with breast cancer. 

This award will be presented to a local Chester County high school senior who has been personally impacted by a parent’s/guardian’s battle with cancer. We hope that by awarding this scholarship we can honor Cammie’s memory and spirit, while providing financial assistance to a deserving recipient. If you know of someone who meets the criteria for this scholarship, please share this opportunity with them and encourage them to apply.  Please email us at info@connectthrucancer.org with any questions.
