Help us celebrate these amazing Boys & Girls Club of Oak Ridge members!
Congratulations to our 2026 Boys & Girls Club of Oak Ridge Memorial Scholarship recipients!
This year, we are proud to recognize (left to right) Tyree Porter, Anaiya Heyward-Tharpe, and Crawford Webb as recipients of the David Hahn, Kevin Hurt, Charles Burger, Jim Vines, Charles Kennedy, and Mike Anderson Memorial Scholarships.
Tyree Porter will attend Tennessee State University, where he will compete in track and field while pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Already ahead of the game, Tyree has completed the Roane State Community College Middle College Program and is preparing for a future where he can make a lasting impact through innovation and problem-solving.
Anaiya Heyward-Tharpe is headed to Tennessee State University to major in Nursing with a minor in Mathematics. During her time at Oak Ridge High School, Anaiya excelled as a basketball and volleyball player and consistently gave back to younger athletes by volunteering with our basketball program and helping at games throughout the season.
Crawford Webb will attend Nashville Auto-Diesel College as he works toward becoming a Level 3 Technician. A familiar face around the Club, Crawford has volunteered with us for years, most recently helping during basketball season. He hopes to one day return and encourage younger Club members by showing them that success can be achieved through many paths, including the skilled trades.
All three recipients grew up as Club members, and each has demonstrated a commitment to hard work, service, and personal growth. Please join us in congratulating these outstanding young people as they begin the next chapter of their journeys. We are incredibly proud of them and can't wait to see all they accomplish in the years ahead!
