$735 Jon Rightmire Continuing Education Fund $735
This fund has been established to be awarded to a Moto Cross Racer who is continuing their education. An award of $735 will be given to an individual who embodies the Moto Cross spirit of family, friendship and competition that attracts racers to the sport. It is available to graduating high school seniors and students currently attending college. 2012 applications will be accepted by Frozen Ocean and by Gary & Liz Rightmire (Jon’s parents). A panel selects the applicant(s) who best characterizes the spirit of the Moto Cross commu-nity. Our goal is to award at least two $735 scholarships each year. Donations can be sent to Frozen Ocean or Gary & Liz Rightmire. Please make checks out to the "Jon Rightmire Continuing Education Fund". We wish to thank all the individuals and businesses who organize, sponsor and contribute to this event each year in remembrance of Jon.
