$1,500 LINDSEY RENEE CIANCIOLO FAMILY
MEMORIAL AWARDS
The Lindsey Renee Cianciolo Family Memorial Fund began
sponsoring two $1,500 Michigan
scholarships in 2007. The scholarships
are financed by Lindsey’s father, Michael Cianciolo,
and her sisters Allie and Mary Cianciolo.
Lindsey died on January 5, 2005, at the
age of 20, in a motor vehicle accident
which was largely caused by underage
drinking. In addition to honoring
Lindsey's memory, the Lindsey Renee
Cianciolo Family Memorial Awards
reward students taking the initiative
to publicly denounce underage drinking
and recognizes the winners for the
strength and courage they exhibit in
this endeavor so that fewer lives will
be lost in the future.
