This was my state of mind a few years ago when I decided to enter a winter race. I Co-Directors, Heckscher State Park 50K and 25K Runs,
was feeling particularly sorry for myself that day. Juggling a job and small kids meant Carl Grossbard*, Suzanne Nelson*

that just about every run was squeezed in as my schedule would allow it, which also to Feed Long Island’s Hungry, Frank Capone*

2022 Herb & Betty Grayson Memorial Scholarship Application Name ______________________________________________________________________________________ Address ______________________________________________________________________________________ Phone ______________________________________________________________________________________ Email ______________________________________________________________________________________ School ______________________________________________________________________________________ Scholarship: A check in the amount of $2000 will be awarded to one or more graduating Nassau or Suffolk County high school seniors, chosen on the basis of involvement in, and service to, the Long Island running community. In order to qualify for the Scholarship, you must submit a paper describing your involvement in, and service to, the running community, as well as your personal running accomplishments. Please keep in mind that we are not necessarily interested in the star of the high school track or cross-country team. Instead, for example, we want to recognize the student who helped raise funds to send the team to an out-of-town meet, or who helped organize a road race or track meet to help out a local charity. The key is that this is a SERVICE-oriented scholarship rather than one based on athletic accomplishments. * Submitted papers are to be a maximum of three pages in length, typed and double-spaced. * Please also provide the names and contact information of two references (no relatives please). Applications may be submitted online via Google Form (see glirc.org for details) with all attachments ON OR BEFORE APRIL 4, 2022.
