Eric Brander Memorial Scholarship
Download application
Deadline:
Eric Brander was a talented high school bowler on the Plainfield South Boys Bowling Team. He was passionate about the sport of bowling and worked at Town and Country Lanes as a porter.
Anyone who bowled in the Plainfield and Joliet area knew Eric as a very kind, helpful and generous young man with a brilliant future ahead of him. On December 11, 2009, our local bowling community was shocked to hear that his life was tragically cut short in a fatal car accident.
In Eric's memory, his parents, Kelly and Joe Lamotte and coach Derek Christensen started the Eric Brander Memorial Scholarship. This special scholarship is awarded to high school bowlers in hopes of continuing Eric's passion for helping others.
