Barbeque to raise scholarship money for local parishioners

St. John’s Catholic Church, 1234 Kentucky St., will hold the third annual barbeque fundraiser in honor of the Lisa Ramos Bland Memorial Scholarship.

The event will take place Sunday, April 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall.

The cost is $8 for adults, $4 for children and $20 for a family of four.

The barbeque will help to raise part of the $2000 for a scholarship for students who are members of any Douglas County parish.

Bland was killed by a 16-year-old drunken driver on Sept. 16, 2000.

“I think it’s important for people to go to the event and remember her,” Jim Bland, Lisa’s widower, said. “At the same time it benefits students who will get money for the scholarship.”

Additional money for the scholarship would come from outside donations, Bland said.
