Edward P. Suchecki Family Scholarship Fund
Ed Suchecki was born and raised in Nunica, attended Grand Haven High School, and graduated in 1957. Ed was a star football player and spent much of his time coaching the Tri-Cities Kids' League, youth football, and playing golf.
Although Ed did not have the opportunity to attend college, he was a successful businessman and he made sure his children went to college. When Ed died in 2000, his wife and sons established this scholarship fund which is awarded to local athletes who want to pursue a career in business.
