Chatham High School's Class of 1990 will sponsor a Chatham High School alumni basketball game Friday, Nov. 28, to benefit the Herman C. Kelly Memorial Scholarship.
The game will begin at 6 p.m. at the school gym. Tickets are $5. There also will be a 50-50 raffle.
Kelly, who died in 2007, was a 1990 Chatham High graduate, president of the Student Government Association and a member of the varsity basketball team.
"Herman was a model student as well as classmate, and was cherished by all. He embraced everyone and was known to make everyone feel included," said class spokesman Trista Pope Fayton.
Fayton is a member of the Herman C. Kelly Memorial Scholarship board along with Regina Hairston Kellogg, Greg Haymore and Cynthia Newby Mills.
The Herman C. Kelly Memorial Scholarship will assist a Chatham High School senior with educational expenses.
After graduating from Chatham High, Kelly pursued a passion for helping people as a licensed funeral director and embalmer.
A graduate of John Tyler Community College and Virginia State University, he began
at Miller Funeral Home in Gretna and later relocated to Petersburg.
