Duke Snider Scholarship Fund established

FALLBROOK – The Duke Snider Scholarship Fund has been established by the family of the baseball legend in a joint effort with the Fallbrook Sports Association (Ingold Sports Park). The first scholarship from the fund will be awarded at Fallbrook Union High School's senior awards event in late spring.

Snider was a longtime resident of Fallbrook and supported Fallbrook baseball and athletics for over 50 years. Beverly Snider and her family have generously donated $2,000 to start the Duke Snider Scholarship Fund.

Local residents are encouraged to participate in the effort by donating to the scholarship fund. Interested individuals can contact Mark Polarek at [email protected] or (760) 393-6197.

Fallbrook Sports Association is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit public charity established in 2004 to manage Ingold Sports Park. The park, which serves individuals of all ages, relies on the continued support of both private citizens and public entities to manage the multi-sport and activity complex. It does not receive ongoing support to fund daily operations.
