Scholarship

While practicing for nearly two decades Mr. Hannum experienced and saw firsthand the effects of a divorce on the family as a whole and decided to actively assist those affected children directly.

To that end, a monetary award in the amount of $250.00 is given every year to the high school student that Mr. Hannum believes to have demonstrated academic and/or personal accomplishments in the face of particular hurdles that the student encountered due to familial conflict and strife growing up in a single parent or divorced parent household.
