About the Campaign

The Cherry Hawk Scholarship honors Taylor "The Hawk" Richardson, Gene "Cherry" Ward and all the "Fallen Hawks" who left behind a legacy of joy for the sporting life.


The Cherry Hawk Scholarship is open to students from or attending school in Southern California. Students should aspire to become sports professionals, studying a sports-related field such as Sports Information, Sports Medicine (inc. Physical Therapy, Sports Psychology or related), Sports Management, Sports Marketing, Sports Journalism or Communications. 


Our 2023 Cherry Hawk Scholars

In 2023, due to the support of generous donors, the Richardson family decided to award two $10,000 scholarships, quadrupling the scholarship dollars received!
