Sandra M. Glazier Scholarship Fund The Sandra M. Glazier Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Sandy Glazier, the co-founder of the Cancer Concern Center of Point Pleasant.

Her leadership efforts were recognized in May 2000 when she was awarded the Russ Berrie Prize for Making a Difference.
