The CK5K event raises funds to support
the Carolyn Keen’10 Memorial Scholarship
that was started
in memory of Carolyn Keen ‘10 who
lost her life in a car accident in her junior year. Carolyn
was a member of the Cross Country
and Track team so a 5K is
a perfect way to celebrate her talents and contributions to the Gwynedd
community and keep her memory alive. The scholarship is awarded each year to a
rising Junior at Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School who, like Carolyn, has
displayed admirable dedication and commitment to her school, and whose family will benefit from the assistance with her tuition.
