The scholarship was started in 2008 in memory of Kara Berry, a former Greenbrier East High School cheerleader who tragically died in an automobile accident soon after graduation that year. The scholarship is awarded to a senior cheerleader who will be attending a college or vocational school, and who demonstrates outstanding leadership and service at the high school. Sarah is the sixth recipient of this award.
The Greenbrier County Schools Foundation would especially like to thank Workers United, Mid-Atlantic Regional Joint Board – Local 863 representing hospitality employees at The Greenbrier Hotel for their most generous donation which helped fund the Kara Berry scholarship for this year.
