    Congratulations to our 2016 Soccer Scholarship Student-Athletes

    In 2015, LAMB Foundation hosted its first annual John Green Memorial Scholarship Match. Not only did we have more athletes participate than anticipated on the first year, but we also had great support from coaches and athletes wanting to see the scholarship match improve and grow. Please check out the highlights and information from 2015.

    From this match we are pleased to announce that several athletes have been awarded scholarships to play in the US, and have already started on their first semester at their schools.

    CONGRATULATIONS

    Upcoming 2016 John Green Memorial Match
    Because of the great success of this event we are excited to announce on November 27th we will be having the 2016 John Green Memorial Scholarship Match once again.
     
    We hope to see more athletes, have more university coaches present, and secure even more scholarship for the upcoming year.
     
    BUT… We need your support to make this happen. We have started a GoFundMe that you can directly donate to and assist in making student-athletes dreams come true.
     
    Your donation goes directly to the cause in:
    1) Providing jerseys for the athletes
    2) Providing lunch and refreshments throughout the scholarship match day
    3) Provide support for SAT scholarship for the students so they can be eligible
     
    If you have additional questions, please contact Brian James via email at bjames@lamb-foundation.org

    Advice to Pre-College students: Your days tend to move faster because of your athletic obligations. With that being said, I find the most important thing about being a student athlete is time management. There will be time to have fun as well, but always remember that you are a student first, an athlete second and anything else after that is just a bonus.

    January 2016 RecipientsCongratulations to Webster Pryce and Demacoye Maye who were were selected as recipients of the Naima A. Stennett SAT Scholarship. This scholarship was established to recognize outstanding students in the Caribbean who wish to take the SAT to attend College in the United States.

    Both Webster Pryce and Demacoye Maye both natives of Clarendon, Jamaica are past students from Denbigh High School and past participants of the John Green Memorial Match hosted by LAMB Foundation in Clarendon, Jamaica. They both have competed in soccer competition such as ISSA Dacosta Cup.

    Webster describes himself as hardworking and as someone who always does his best in everything he does.

    Demacoye states one of his favorite quote comes from Colin Powell: “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes determination and hard work” and those words kept him motivated.

    Both students have shown through your hard work and determination to be a student that LAMB Foundation wants to recognize and encourage to continue their athletic and educational effort. We at LAMB Foundation would like to wish them both continued success throughout their college career and on.
