Celebrating Our 2025 Bursary Recipients

Advancing Crystal Beach is proud to support local youth through our annual bursary program, which awards two bursaries each year—one to a graduating student from Greater Fort Erie Secondary School (GFESS) and one from Lakeshore Catholic High School. To be eligible, students must reside in Crystal Beach and be entering their first year of post-secondary education.

This year’s bursaries were made possible through proceeds from our signature fundraising event, The White Soiree, hosted at the scenic Bertie Boat Club Pavilion. This elegant evening of live music, delicious food, and meaningful connection brings the community together in support of our next generation.

Pictured here are this year’s recipients:
