Over $3,000 was raised May 30 for the Tommy Abercrombie Athletic Scholarship. The scholarship is in honor of the late Suwannee Middle School dean and coach.
Abercrombie’s son Hunter Abercrombie expressed his family’s gratitude to those involved with the event.
“We just want to thank everybody for their support and their support toward the scholarship,” he said.
The Rib ‘N Raffle fundraiser event was held in the Cheek and Scott Drug Store parking lot and was organized by friends and former co-workers of Tommy Abercrombie.
Local resident Adrienne Taylor won the drawing for two season tickets to the 2009-10 Suwannee High School football season.
Hunter Abercrombie said the barbecue fundraiser will be an annual event held on graduation day. The athletic scholarship will be awarded to a nominated graduating senior each year.
SHS softball and volleyball player Debbie Hett received the $1,000 Abercrombie scholarship for 2008-09.
