BARBARA KNOTHE SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The Barbara Knothe Scholarship Fund began in 2002 after the loss of Barb In March of 2001.
The fund was created with the donations of persons who loved Barb and knew how much she
loved out gymnasts. She always enjoyed every gymnast and looked forward to each and
every encounter. Her great sense of humor was something we will all remember. For many
gymnasts she turned a tear into a smile.
The Fund awards a monetary gift yearly to a well-deserving PA gymnasts. The amount is
subject to change each year but will not be less than $800.00. It is also possible that more than
one candidate can be chosen. In order to qualify the gymnast must meet the following criteria:
