DONATE TO THIS SPECIAL MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP!
The Friends of Gary Saunders announce the new Gary Saunders’ Dr Banjo -Jam Camp Scholarship. It will be administered by the Wilkes Acoustic Folk Society of which Gary was an active member. This scholarship is in memory of Gary, an awesome and well loved musician and friend to many. He was known not only for his incredible musical talent, but his humor, storytelling, hunting, and fishing escapades, and his extra big heart of encouragement and help to others. The camp is for all bluegrass instruments.
This scholarship is to be a yearly way to honor Gary’s memory with awarding one deserving recipient (for ages 10 and above) to attend “The Pete Wernick -Dr Banjo Camp.” It covers a three day, paid tuition for this camp. It is held the week of Merlefest and located at YMCA Camp Harrison in Boomer, NC. Applications and details for the scholarship can be found at https://wilkesfolks.org/scholarships.
