Skidmore College
The KGF maintains a long standing commitment to Kenny's alma matter, Skidmore College, where it created a scholarship in Kenny's name, targeting high school students who have the ability to thrive in a higher education environment but whose schools do not provide the support or resources necessary to prepare them for the academic challenges of college. Over 20 students have received full four-year scholarships to the college since the scholarship was established in 2000. We are most proud of the young men and women who were and are Kenny Gordon Scholars. You can read more about these fine individuals on the site here.
