Avery Kadish awarded 100th Anniversary Scholarship

Centenary Award Winner Announcement
Six outstanding young women were nominated by local high schools for the 100th anniversary scholarship. After much deliberation, the Scholarship Committee is pleased to announce that the winner is: Avery Kadish of Brantford Collegiate Institute.
Well-known as a talented musician and performer, Avery is also an honour roll student who was accepted at several universities, and will be attending Humber College this September for a Bachelor of Music. She participates in BCI’s Laurier program for exceptional students, and is in a Specialist High School Major program with an Arts and Culture focus. She is active in the LINC mentorship program which supports grade 8 students as well as an anti-bullying program in local elementary schools. Avery created an original song from the personal stories of students, and performs it as part of the program. Avery uses her musical ability to support the many activities at BCI. She has taken roles in BCI’s musical productions, sung at Remembrance Day services, and is helping to offer arts workshops to local grade two classes through the Laurier program.
Avery has completed hundreds of hours of volunteer work all while developing her professional career – recording albums, performing at venues such as Roy Thomson Hall, Koerner Hall, Birdland Jazz Club in New York City, and several major jazz festivals. You may have heard Avery sing the National Anthem at a Toronto Blue Jays game, or perform in the Young Artists’ recital at the Sanderson Centre.
Members of CFUW Brantford will have the opportunity to congratulate our scholarship winner, Avery Kadish, when she is presented with a cheque for $2500 at the AGM on May 22.
