The Sandra M. Glazier Scholarship Fund
The Sandra M. Glazier Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Sandy Glazier. Sandy was co-founder of the Cancer Concern Center of Point Pleasant. She was elected to represent women battling cancer by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and was featured in the 2001 My Hope Calendar. Her leadership efforts were recognized in May 2000 by Russ Berrie who awarded her the Russ Berrie Prize for Making a Difference. A vibrant individual with a zest for life, and an inspiration to all, Sandy passed away on October 22nd, 2001 after seven years of battling metastatic breast cancer. Family and friends of Sandy have established the Sandra M. Glazier Scholarship Fund at the Princeton Area Community Foundation to fulfill one of Sandy’s life-long wishes to provide financial assistance for college study to graduating high school seniors whose parents have been stricken by cancer, or who have been afflicted themselves. The scholarship is a tribute to Sandy’s life and interests and a reminder not only of her battle against a terrible disease, but also her successes as a mother, wife and breast cancer advocate.
