Our Vision
The Lena Dixon Legacy Scholarship was birthed shortly after her passing in June 2021. Her children and grandchildren wanted to keep her memory and legacy alive by honoring the things she held dear to her heart. Lena was a dedicated philanthropist raising thousands of dollars annually for her late husband’s scholarship Rev E.C. Dixon. Our vision is to award $1000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors to help with tuition, books etc.
In addition to the Lena Dixon Legacy Scholarship, the Legacy Award was created to honor Lena’s children who have passed on. We currently have the Don Linzy Dixon Music Award and the Wilhelmina Jones Service Award. An additional $1000 will be awarded to students who exemplify one of these two categories.
