SCHOLARSHIP
Congratulations to this year's 2023 Cranberry CUP $2,000 scholarship recipient, Hannah Cairns
Hannah will be attending Penn State University in the fall with an intended major in pre-medicine. After her undergraduate degree, she plans on attending medical school and eventually obtain her MD. Currently she is thinking of surgery and anesthesiology for her medical profession. Hannah is passionate about the mental health crisis in our society and how the Pandemic has added to the loneliness and isolation people feel. She would like to see communities and schools offer more programs and education for those individuals struggling with mental health.
Hannah is involved in NHS, Student Athlete Leadership Team, and cheerleading. Not only does she excel in the academic arena, Hannah finds time to volunteer with many organizations such as Candy for the Troops, Toys for Tots, March of Dimes, Miracle League, and Sock Drive for UPMC Children's Hospital, of which she and her family founded. They reached out to schools and institutions across our community and neighboring cities and placed collection bins anywhere they could. They collected over 2,000 socks that they donated to the hospital to provide children with a sense of home and comfort despite the impersonal clothing they receive when confined to a small hospital room.
Hannah Cairns certainly encompasses the characteristics of the Cranberry CUP Philanthropic Scholarship. Good luck Hannah on your future endeavors.
