Meet Our 2024 Scholarship Winner – Courtney Evans!

Congratulations to Courtney Evans, the winner of the 2024 Pond Lehocky Giordano Annual Scholarship! Courtney was chosen due to her tireless work ethic, devotion to her family, and steadfast positivity. She has accomplished much while remaining a positive force for her family as they experienced the hardships that a work injury can bring.

In 2022, Courtney’s father suffered a tear of his rotator cuff at work. The injury led to costly medical expenses and loss of income as he underwent surgery and a lengthy physical rehabilitation. Despite advisement from safety personnel, his company continued to direct him to do physically demanding work, leading to another rotator cuff tear.

Courtney also has three siblings, one of whom is special needs. Between caring for her sibling and helping to support her family after her father’s injury, she has displayed exceptional empathy and selflessness.

She will be enrolling in Stetson University in Fall 2024, where she intends to major in marketing. We wish her the best of luck, though we know she will hardly need it, given her academic prowess and outstanding work ethic. Pond Lehocky Giordano is proud to honor Courtney Evans with our 2024 scholarship!
