Scholarship Winner 2018
The Keturah Hamilton Foundation flew to San Francisco on October 9, 2018 to award Victoria Johnese with the Keturah Hamilton Foundation and Shayla Michelle Scholarship fund. Victoria Johnese has a courageous story. She is a foster child, who has overcome a lot and never gave in to her circumstances.
Victoria stood tall, strong, and proud to become a contributor to society, not another statistic. Victoria will be going off to college to major in graphic design. It was inspiring to hear her story and an honor to be a part of her journey to make her dreams attainable. Thanks to all of you who donated to this amazing cause.
We could not have done it without you. Thanks to Fog Harbor Fish House located at Pier 39 in San Francisco for your hospitality in making this day memorable for Miss Johnese.
