How It Started...
In March of 2022, the Winchester Firefighters Local 1807 offered a $750 cash scholarship to one graduating George Rogers Clark High School senior planning on a career path in public safety or public health. This scholarship was open to college, technical, and trade school bound students to encourage a career in public service.
The following year, The Engine House Pizza Pub, housed in Winchester’s first firehouse, built in 1885, matched the initial $750 making it possible to offer TWO cash scholarships in 2023! In addition, The Engine House Pizza Pub raised an additional $1000 through the selling of reservations to popular music events to be given away in 2024!
How It’s Going...
Now, Chad walker, co-owner of The Engine House Pizza Pub, is going all out and combining his 50th birthday with a record-breaking adventure in hopes of raising $10,000 for future scholarships and YOU can be a part of it all!
On June 21, 2024, the Electric Orca Expedition will launch in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for Longest 24 Hour Journey Aboard an Electric Golf Cart! This event will serve as a fundraiser for the Winchester Firefighter’s Scholarship Fund and 100% of every dollar donated will provide financial support to Winchester youths planning on a career path in public safety or public health.
