Seashore Striders support James J. Kiernan Scholarship Fund

The 9th annual Seashore Classic was run this year in honor of James Kiernan, who was known to all in the community as a philanthropist of the highest esteem. To keep his name ever present in a charitable way, his wife and four daughters have created the James J. Kiernan Memorial Scholarship Fund.

For more than 30 years, Kiernan gave of himself for numerous area charities. He donated time and money not only personally but also through his restaurant, Irish Eyes. His family members have said in all the condolences they have received since Kiernan passed, one word comes up again and again...generosity. They believe he would want his passion for giving to stay alive in this community.

Due to great community participation in the Seashore Classic, the Seashore Striders have generously donated $1,000 to the James J. Kiernan Memorial Scholarship Fund.

This newly established fund will be handled by Horizon Philanthropic of Lewes.
