Julia R Millon Memorial Scholarship Awarded

The Millon Family is honored to present the first Julia R Millon Memorial
Scholarship in honor of our beloved daughter and sister.

Thanks to the generous contributions from the Winters Community, the ultra trail
running community, friends and family, the scholarship fund has achieved endowed
status funded to perpetuity. We would also like to thank the independent committee that included members of the Winters community, the running community and family who reviewed and scored all applicants.

People recommending this student repeated these qualities: love of family, great
work ethic, diligence, and perseverance. These traits came through in the
application and are all traits Julia would have honored.

We are pleased to announce Andrea Gonzalez as the first recipient of the Julia R. Millon Memorial scholarship.
