OPAF is pleased to announce that Seth Eric McLarty of Ballinger, Texas has
been named the 2008 Dale Yasukawa Memorial Scholarship winner. Eric was
selected from an excellent panel of applicants who are all currently
enrolled in the Northwestern University Orthotics & Prosthetics Program.
Eric will receive a check for $500 to be used towards attending his local
Academy chapter meeting and/or a national meeting. Funds may also be used
to help offset schooling costs.

 

It is a great honor to receive the OPAF Dale Yasukawa Memorial Fund
Scholarship. I am very excited to be a part of an organization filled with
great people and great ideas, said McLarty, who is currently pursuing his
orthotics certification as part of the spring class of 2008. A Navy veteran
honored with two Navy Achievement Medals for meritorious conduct during
overseas deployment while serving in the Middle East, Eric also works with
and volunteers for organizations benefiting the West Texas Rehabilitation
Center. When not engaged with family and school activities, he fancies a
good benefit run and has been part of several benefit races for abused
children and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

 

We are pleased to award this ongoing scholarship to Eric and know that he
will work to continue the goals that Dale Yasukawa set forth for giving back
to your community and a commitment to the O & P field. The OPAF Board of
Directors believes in these goals and take them as part of our mission,
said OPAF Executive Director, Robin Burton.
