In
1988 The Darcy Akers Scholarship Fund was created as a separate Florida
Corporation. Darcy Akers was the daughter of Club member William Akers,
III and granddaughter of charter member William Akers, Jr., who was
tragically killed in an automobile accident in 1986 while in route from
Ormond Beach to the University of Florida in Gainesville. Active
members of this Corporation are all active members of the Rotary Club of
Ormond Beach and the Board of Directors of the Fund mirror the Board of
Directors of the Rotary Club of Ormond Beach. The purpose of the Fund is
to provide meaningful, four year scholarships for Ormond Beach area
residents. As of 2004 the Fund's total principle was close to
$300,000. Current recipients are shown below. We are very
proud of each of them for both their academic accomplishments and
contribution to their schools. |
