CARTI Awards Jungmeyer Scholarship to 12 Former Pediatric Cancer Patients
On Tuesday, June 11, CARTI hosted a ceremony to award the Jungmeyer Scholarship to 12 former pediatric cancer patients who previously received treatment at a CARTI facility. This marks the 22nd year the scholarships were given in the name of Dennis Jungmeyer, a cancer survivor who saw the pediatric cancer patients coming and going in the waiting room while he received his own treatments.
The 2019 Jungmeyer Scholarship recipients include: Brayden Beshears of Greenwood; Carlton David Lee of Kingwood, TX; Lucas Cauthren of Conway; Creed Chapman of Norfork; John David Evans of Clinton; Spencer Ewing of Little Rock; Cheryl Harp of Bentonville; Patrik Rollefson of Paron; Breanna Stoufer of Fort Smith; CheyAnn Trantham of Conway; Jackson Ward of Lonoke; and Chase Wellenberger of England.
Held at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion, the reception featured remarks by First Lady Susan Hutchinson; Adam Head, CARTI president and CEO; Dennis Jungmeyer, director emeritus of the CARTI Foundation board of directors; Reverend Larry Charles, director of pastoral care at CARTI; Jim Mitchell, Chair, CARTI Kids Scholarship and Activities Committee, CARTI Foundation Board of Directors; and Brayden Beshears, 2019 scholarship recipient.
Since its inception, the CARTI Kids Program has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships.
The CARTI Kids Program is financially supported by the work of the CARTI Foundation and its Board of Directors. The CARTI Foundation was incorporated in 1983 as a nonprofit organization to assist CARTI in meeting the current and future needs of Arkansas cancer patients and their families.
