Legacy Announces David Pickeral Scholarship Winner

VA Legacy is proud to announce the recipient of the 2011 David Pickeral Scholarship. 

David Pickeral played with the Williamsburg Soccer Club.  “Dave Pickeral was a great kid, a dedicated player and a true teammate. He had a massive love for the game we all play and enjoy.” Said former Williamsburg Soccer Club Director Richard Butler.  Each year a $1,000 scholarship is awarded in David's name to a Virginia Legacy Soccer Club senior intending to continue their studies at college. The applicant may be male or female. The Board of Directors will develop and oversee an application process. A review committee will award the scholarship. The money must go towards tuition, fees, housing or books. 

This year the scholarship has been awarded to Patrick O'Brien.
