Cory Hoard, President of Sky Volleyball is pleased to announce that Ava Marginson has been selected to receive The Emily Dahl Foundation 2024 $5,000 Scholarship.
Ava Marginson said: "The Emily Dahl Foundation is not only a tribute to Emily's wisdom and grace, but it's a celebration of her teachings and her purpose. Emily demonstrated the importance of interconnectedness to one's purpose for us all, an eternal knot. It is incredible to be part of The Emily Dahl Foundation and to join the past recipients is an honor." Cory Hoard, President of Sky Volleyball stated: “Ava Marginson has been a long-time athlete of SKY since she started her club journey at the U14 level. Ava has excelled at volleyball within SKY and for her school teams through the years and all that hard work has earned her a spot on the women’s university team at Trent. Ava’s play is not just what got her noticed and ultimately awarded this amazing scholarship, it was her exceptionally written application and efforts within our community that set her apart. Like the EDF scholarship recipients and SKY athletes before her we will showcase her as an example to all our athletes for years to come. SKY is very proud of you Ava!” Sherman Dahl Co-Founder of The Emily Dahl Foundation stated: "It has been an absolute pleasure to spend time with Ava and her family. Ava understands that the very purpose of life is to be happy. Her warmth and kindness are evident in all that she does. Our family wishes her continued success and growth at Trent University this coming fall." “The Community Foundation North Okanagan is delighted to enable our donors to fulfill their philanthropic goals,” said Leanne Hammond, Executive Director of the Community Foundation North Okanagan. “It is our absolute pleasure to manage funding for the Emily Dahl Foundation. Knowing Emily’s legacy lives on through Ava and all the young people who will receive this award in the future is an inspiration. We are truly privileged to be connected to this worthy endeavour.”
