Yes!

Thank you for your desire to assist in the purchase of the airline ticket for Sherron Pearson to go to London to attend Oxford University this summer. We have reached our goal and she is now able to make the trip. Some people have asked if they can still contribute for additional expenses. If you so desire you can make your contribution out to "The Sherron Pearson Scholarship Fund" and send it to Crenshaw High School, 5010 11th Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90043
