Kathy Ryan Rural Fire and Rescue Endowment Fund. In Honor of a True Hero.
The Kathy Ryan Rural Fire and Rescue Endowment Fund was established to honor the bravery of Kathy Ryan, a Borger grandmother, who lost her life in the March 12, 2006 Borger Wildfire, while trying to rescue her elderly neighbors. Her children and the Amarillo law firm of Lovell, Lovell, Newsom & Isern wanted to honor her heroism and support fire and rescue personnel in the Texas Panhandle by establishing this endowment.
The Kathy Ryan Rural Fire and Rescue Endowment Fund will provide scholarships to fire and rescue personnel or volunteers in the rural Texas Panhandle to attend or obtain training or education in firefighting or rescue. Applicants must be a current member, volunteer, or employee of a recognized fire or rescue organization in the rural Texas Panhandle (defined as the Northernmost 24 counties in Northwest Texas, excluding Potter and Randall Counties).
The Kathy Ryan Rural Fire and Rescue Endowment Fund is managed by the Amarillo Area Foundation. Applications are accepted through December 1 and are awarded each year on March 12. The first award was made on March 12, 2010. Those interested in applying or donating can contact the Amarillo Area Foundation at 806-376-4521 or click on the links.
