Congratulations to the recipients of the two 2026 Avon Club Foundation Scholarships! The Avon Club scholarship aims to recognize not only academic excellence but also a strong commitment to volunteer work and community engagement. This scholarship celebrates seniors in our community who go above and beyond, giving their time and energy to make a positive impact on others. We are so excited to present a $3,000 scholarship to Avonworth seniors Grace Keller and Ella Machen!
This year we are proud to honor Grace Keller and Ella Machen for their dedication to service and their efforts to create meaningful change in our community.
Grace is a graduating senior at Avonworth. Over the past few years, Grace has become a successful entrepreneur and an asset to our community. She is best known for creating affordable childcare through camps for kids of all ages. What was evident when meeting with her over the interview process was that she uses her skills to find what her community needs and focuses her energy there. After high school, Grace is going to attend Northeastern University where she wants to focus on becoming a leader who values social responsibility by making everyone feel welcome and supported.
Ella is also a graduating senior at Avonworth. Throughout high she has grown into a strong leader and an invaluable member of the school musical and beyond. She started as an assistant student director and has since moved on to the one of the few student directors. This year she not only led the production but also dedicated her time to training and supporting the next generation of student leaders. Ella plans to pursue a degree in finance at Xavier University. Her goal is to support female athletes as they navigate the growth of women’s sports.
Congratulations to both Grace and Ella!
