Gavin Westover Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship was created to benefit a BHS senior who is enrolled in a Four Cities Compact career technical program, ranks in the top half of their graduating class, and demonstrates service to school and community. Gavin was in a fatal automobile accident in December 2009 at the age of 16. At just 15, Gavin made the decision to become an organ donor—a selfless choice that ultimately saved or improved the lives of 17 people. His story is a powerful reminder that even the decisions we make when we’re young can have a lasting and far-reaching impact. Acts of generosity, no matter our age, can ripple outward in ways we may never fully see, touching lives and inspiring others long after we’re gone.
