Kira Vasko |
The WKBN 27 Caring for Our Community campaign has named Boardman High School junior Kira Vasko, at right, the winner of the $1,500 Tom Holden Memorial Scholarship contest.
Nearly 150 students from Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana and Mercer counties wrote public service announcements for local nonprofit organizations.
The winning script will be produced by WKBN, featuring the Down Syndrome Association of the Valley and will be able to be seen throughout the year on WKBN 27 and FOX Youngstown.
A third place winner in the contest was Boardman High School senior Alayna Cuevas. Her entry featured the YMCA of the Mahoning Valley.
