We believe that humanity begins in children and their realization of how valuable their actions, words, or even a smile can be toward individual growth and to the everyday well being of the people surrounding them. In memory of Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp, we follow through our mission of carrying out the positive impact she had made on so many people by helping children and families who have also made a positive impact on the people around them.
Since 2001, we have organized
a children's educational scholarship program in honor of Aubrey
Rose. Aubrey made such a difference in many people's lives
within her three short years here on this earth. To honor
her and her achievements, we base our scholarships on a childs'
kindness and willingness to give back to our community.
Our scholarships are for those students who have a compassionate
heart unlike other scholarships that are based on academics or
athletic ability.
How do you become a recipient of an Aubrey Rose
Hollenkamp Scholarship? Scholarship applicants submit an
essay and are judged by a panel consisting of the student's school
staff members, Aubrey's Grandparents, George and Nancy Frondorf,
Aubrey's parents, Jerry and Nancy Hollenkamp and Aubrey's sister
and brother, Carly and Spencer.
In 2009, we gave out 29, ( 27
in 2008) $500.00 scholarships awarded to 8th grade students who
are going on to a Catholic High School in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
These outstanding students have made a difference in the lives
of people around them. Scholarship applications were due by Friday,
January 30, 2009 to the Aubrey Rose Foundation to be considered
for a scholarship.
In 2010, The Aubrey Rose Foundation
is expanding our Scholarship Program to students who not only
go to Catholic grade schools in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati
but now we are adding Catholic grade schools in Boone, Campbell
and Kenton Counties in Kentucky and also Catholic schools in Southeastern
Indiana.
The scholarships are given out to the students
at their graduation or their awards ceremonies where the parents
are invited. This is extremely important piece of our scholarship
presentation so that the parents are surprised along with the
scholarship recipient to hear their name being recognized for
them having a kind-heart.
About the Scholarship Reception
Our goal for this Scholarship Reception is to
have the scholarship recipients and their parents, the 8th grade
teachers, grade school principals and the high school principals
from the schools where the recipients will be going to, in attendance.
We want this Reception to be so motivating and uplifting and we
want everyone to walk away knowing what an honor it was not just
for the Scholarship Recipient to receive this award but also for
everyone to walk away with a special feeling in their hearts and
smiles on their faces!
On June 10th, 2009 the Scholarship
Reception was such a wonderful evening. Scholarship recipients
could meet other students who will be going on to high school.
And it was a night where their new principals/administrators could
meet the recipients as well. We had Anthony Buford,
ARF Board Member and head of the Junior Scholarship Board speak
first and with his a great speaking voice, he spoke volumes to
the guests at this Reception. Anthony is a dynamic motivational
speaker! Next we had our two Junior Scholarship Board Members,
Brian Jacob and Mike Staud speak
about what being a member of the Junior Scholarship Board really
meant to them. They truly are role models for our scholarship
recipients!
Here are a few comments from some of the parents
in attendance.
“Nancy’s presentation was incredible.
My thanks to Jerry for doing such good job of reinforcing what
I try so hard to impress upon my own children – the responsibility
that comes with living well. I so appreciated his telling the
kids that as they enter high school, they now have “a target
on their backs.” And, Anthony, I could’ve hugged.
My daughter was convinced I had paid him to speak about the responsibility
that comes with being so electronically wired to the world.”
Another Dad wrote “The Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp
Foundation is one of those rare organizations that makes people
“want” to help others out. Thank you for a wonderful
evening. It was very inspirational and motivating for all of us.”
We also presented our ABOVE AND BEYOND AWARD
to the Fronk Family at this Reception. Sam Fronk
is a 2008 scholarship recipient. He and his family embraced Aubrey’s
Foundation with such a passion helping out wherever needed. Their
support was evident in everything that Aubrey’s Foundation
was a part of. It was a unanimous decision to award this honor
to the Fronk family. With the Above and Beyond Award comes a $1000
scholarship for Sam’s sophomore year at LaSalle High School.
Congratulations Sam.
