Evan Yehl Scholarship Awarded

Two 2010 graduates of Bradford Area High School took a tragedy and turned it into something that will benefit a fellow student.

As their senior project, Megan Race and Angela Yohe decided to raise money for the Evan M. Yehl Memorial Scholarship.

Evan, along with his classmate Britt Bookhamer, died in a motor vehicle accident on May 2, 2008. They were 18 years old.

The young women decided to award the scholarship to a student enrolled in the machine shop, auto shop or carpentry programs “because Evan was involved in these programs,” Race said.

They held many fundraisers to raise the money. Before awarding the scholarship during the Senior Recognition Night at the high school, Race and Yohe thanked all the people who contributed and made the scholarship possible.

Race and Yohe awarded the scholarship to Joshua Wilson.
