This photo of Cathy was taken during her junior year at Marcellus High School, in 1983. That year, she won the NY State Championship for the High Jump in Track & Field. She STILL holds records at Marcellus, over 25 years after her graduation!
April 2009
Cathy's battle with ovarian cancer ended in December 2004, and ever since then, the Marcellus Varsity Gymnastics coaches have been talking about getting a scholarship started in Cathy's memory for a deserving student who emulates Cathy's academic excellence and outstanding accomplishments in sports.
We are hoping that we raise enough every year so that a worthy Marcellus High School scholar athlete will be awarded each June.
This will be an ongoing appeal, and it is our hope that many friends and alumni will consider giving annually in honor of Cathy.
Donations for named scholarships at the school are held in the Marcellus Trust and Agency Fund 501(c) account. Each spring, seniors must apply for the award, and the scholarship committee then chooses the most qualified applicant, based on specific criteria established for this scholarship*.
Can you donate $5? Any amount will help us reach our goal of giving a $400 award in Cathy's name each year.
We are kindly asking that you make a tax-deductible donation toward the scholarship.
1. Please make a check payable to: Marcellus Trust & Agency Fund
2. Write "Catherine Golden Scholarship" in the memo area.
3. Mail your check to:
Marcellus Senior High School
