Fund established to honor Jesse Davis
In a tribute to a cherished community member who dedicated his life to making this area a better place to live, the Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program Board has established a scholarship in Jesse Davis’s honor at the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation.
One of Jesse’s many passions was his love for music, specifically orchestral music. Jesse served as the Board Chair of the Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program and was an avid viola player in the orchestra. As such, the newly established Jesse Davis Legacy Scholarship Fund will provide scholarships for Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program students.
“The Jesse Davis Legacy Scholarship Fund embodies the spirit of compassion, advocacy and inspiration that Jesse Davis demonstrated in his life,” remarked Mindy Nuhring, Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation. “Through this fund, the aim is to carry forward Jesse Davis’s legacy by empowering the next generation of musicians to reach their goals and to foster a deep appreciation for orchestral music within our community.”
Contributions to the Jesse Davis Legacy Scholarship Fund are warmly welcomed. For those who wish to honor Jesse’s legacy and support the development of young musicians, you can donate to The Jesse Davis Legacy Scholarship through the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation (GRACF) by donating online at www.gracf.org, click on Donate and search for The Jesse Davis Legacy Scholarship fund.
