The goal of the Kenneth “Cookie” Frazier Jr.’s Children’s Scholarship fund is to provide need-based scholarships to low income Lansing, Michigan area children attending Lansing Parks and Recreation Youth Programs. Providing scholarships to low -income families will help motivate and encourage self worth in our less fortunate children. They actively seek donations from individual, corporations and foundations so that we may continue to help children and families.
The festivities included water safety information, food, prizes and games. There was gospel entertainment as well for the hundreds of attendees.
His parents Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Sr. and Yalanda Frazier thanked the people who contributed their time, donations, energy and expertise to make the day special.
