Hunter Kurak Wolfe was an adventurous, outdoorsy, and fearless boy born and raised in Jim Thorpe, PA. He loved fishing, golfing, and sports. In 2010, Hunter was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For 10 months he endured extensive chemotherapy while staying brave and strong. Unfortunately, on July 7, 2011 at the age of twelve, Hunter lost his battle. He was a kind soul taken from the world way too soon.
Through this scholarship we hope to continue to spread Hunter’s Hope, Kindness, and Wisdom. HKW.
