Chris Goughnour Scholarship Awarded
A $500 scholarship to help Latino youth with higher education costs was awarded on September 1, 2020 to Maryann Calderon. You can see a link to Maryann's story and those of the other four finalists at the Hear Our Voices. This grant was given in memory of Christopher Goughnour, who was born in Brazil and lived with his U.S. foreign service family in several countries prior to graduating from high school and moving to the United States. As a dual U.S.-Brazilian citizen, Chris cherished his international background, but also took enormous pride in serving the United States in both the U.S. Navy --and after college-- as a highly decorated U.S. Army Ranger stationed in Afghanistan. Chris was taken from this world in 2018, having suffered a heart attack while pursuing one of his greatest passions, deep-water diving. His memory lives on in his parents, wife and two children, brothers, and comrades in arms.
