ANDERSON — Anderson Rotary Club presented recent Pendleton Heights High School graduate Evelyn Garard with the annual Dickmann Award for community service during a June meeting.
The award carries a $1,200 scholarship as well as a $1,200 grant for a charity of the winner’s choice.
Garard chose to direct the grant to Mahoning Valley Christian Service Camp in Rushville.
Garard is the daughter of Brennen and Christine Garard. She plans to attend Purdue University and major in interior design and minor in Spanish.
The Dickmann award was created through a $100,000 endowment established in 1998 by Charles H. and Hazel Dickmann.
The goal is to encourage Madison County high school students to engage in community service.
The late Charles Dickmann was a Rotary member.
The award has provided almost $68,000 to 40 student winners and 38 community organizations.
