This year, the Cold Spring Fire Company awarded the second George Stevenson Scholarship for Arts and Service to Haldane graduate, Sofia Kelly

Sofia has found joy and appreciation in creating connection through her music, and she will continue her singing career at the the University of Cincinnati College - Conservatory of Music where she will pursue a Bachelors of Music degree in Voice Performance. Both music and community service have had a profound impact on her life.

We are honored to have the opportunity to provide this scholarship over 10 years in the name of fire company member, George Stevenson. The gift of his artwork allowed the company to raise over $10K, which will be awarded to a graduating Haldane senior who embodies the values that the CSFC No. 1 represents – volunteerism, leadership, community service, and protection and care for our neighbors – and who plans to study art in college. We celebrate the impact art has had on George’s recovery, and the impact George has had on the Cold Spring community.
