Julia Haynes Memorial Scholarship
The Julia Haynes Memorial Scholarship is funded by generous donations in addition to the the Julia’s 3v3 Soccer Jamboree, a fun soccer event in the local Belchertown community. The annual soccer Jamboree was established in 2023 as an idea from four of Julia’s friends to keep her memory alive. A committee was formed and the event achieved great success in its first year thanks to the support of the community members and local businesses.
In Julia’s thirteen years, she demonstrated an attitude of positivity, determination and kindness. When she was diagnosed with cancer she continued to shine with these characteristics but also demonstrated her ability to persevere in the most difficult of situations. On the days she felt terrible, she attended school while in the hospital and remained focused to achieve her goals. The committee seeks to award two graduates of Belchertown High School each year who exemplify some of the same qualities as Julia. The first two scholarship recipients will be announced at the Belchertown High School Senior Awards Night on June 4, 2024.
