Memory Page for our Fallen Heroes

Each Spring, SAFE sponsors a scholarship contest for high school students. The winner receives a $2,000 scholarship to the college or vocational school of their choice.

When Ed Wynn suddenly passed away in 1997, his family wanted to remember him in a way that would be positive and fun, as well as help others. His famous saying was "Let's get together and laugh". The Ed Wynn Memorial Scholarship Fund, which has awarded over $20,000 in financial assistance, was set up to provide an annual scholarship to individuals who want to pursue a college education.

In 2008 the Ed Wynn Memorial Scholarship Fund became a Lifetime Member of SAFE and became known as the Ed Wynn/SAFE Memorial Scholarship Fund. The Ed Wynn/SAFE Memorial Scholarship Fund relies on donations from the Annual Larry Stewart SAFE Memorial Golf Classic. Cash, in-kind-donations and door prizes from businesses and individuals make the Golf Classic and Scholarship Fund possible.

To be eligible for the Ed Wynn/SAFE Memorial Scholarship, the student must:

• Be a high school senior.
• Be of good character with no criminal background.
• Maintain an overall Grade Point Average of 2.0.
• Be recommended, in writing, by two faculty members.
• Be a dependant of an active police officer, firefighter or emergency service personnel employed in the geographic area covered by SAFE and reside in the geographic area covered by SAFE.
• Submit a typed essay of no more than 750 words on the specified topic.
