The Rotary Club of Healdsburg Sunrise has established a scholarship fund to honor Drew Esquivel, the son of Andy and Susanne Esquivel and brother to Elisabeth and Emma. He graduated from Healdsburg High School in 2013 and was a rising senior at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when his life was taken by a drunk driver. Drew had big dreams and was actively pursuing them. He was a talented young man with a huge heart and a strong work ethic. The scholarship recognizes leadership, scholarship, athleticism, service and adventure - ideals so evident in Drew’s life. We seek to honor and encourage outstanding HHS graduates to Live Like Drew.
Those wishing to make a tax-deductible donation (Tax ID #32-0433206) to this scholarship fund may send checks to:
P.O. Box 302
Healdsburg, CA 95448.
We are proud to report that we have given almost $120,000 in scholarships since 2016! To date there are 45 Drew Scholars. Awards have increased each year and, with your continuing support, will continue to increase and be available for years to come.
