Janice (Dettman) Hanamann Memorial Scholarship
The Janice (Dettman) Hanamann Fund offers a one-time scholarship to a worthy graduating high school senior planning on furthering their education.
Words from Michael Hanamann
Janice (Dettman) Hannamann's Son
“I wanted to create a scholarship in her name as a way of showing her how much she has meant to me as a mother and how much I appreciate everything she has done for me over the years. She has always supported me in good times and in bad, and if I ever needed anything I knew that she would always be there for me. Being the youngest of four boys, I was and always will be her "baby" boy, and that is a title that I will always cherish. Also, I wanted to create a scholarship so her legacy could continue on in the future by helping out kids who want to better themselves and make a positive impact on the world.”
