WRC Foundation
The Wellington Recreation Foundation was created in the winter of 2022 to support the Wellington Recreation Commission by advocating for future program improvements and recreational opportunities through charitable giving. Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors who meet the criteria set forth by the foundation board of directors. The scholarship's namesake is the Kenneth L. Everhart Memorial Scholarship, named after former WRC Superintendent, Kenny Everhart.
