Dave Hilton Character and Commitment Scholarship Fund
Ways To Support: Dave Hilton Character and Commitment Scholarship Fund
We are proud to announce the creation of the Dave Hilton Character and Commitment Scholarship Fund, established to honor the legacy of Dave Hilton, a beloved coach, teacher, and mentor whose dedication to female student-athletes has left a lasting impact on them and the community.
Designed to support deserving female student-athletes, this scholarship recognizes individuals who exemplify the values of leadership, determination, and community spirit – qualities Dave instilled in his students and athletes throughout his years of teaching and coaching. The scholarship will provide financial assistance to help these young women pursue higher education and continue their educational journeys.
As Dave’s legacy is celebrated, we invite you to join in supporting this scholarship fund. Your tax-deductible donation will directly benefit a female student-athlete who exemplifies the same commitment and character that Dave championed throughout his career.
The Dave Hilton Character and Commitment Scholarship will be awarded annually, with the first recipient selected in 2026. Applications will be available through Webster City High School.
Donations are now being accepted to support the scholarship fund. Contributions can be made in a variety of ways, all of which are tax-deductible. Every donation helps honor Dave’s spirit of leadership and ensures that future generations of female student-athletes will have the opportunity to further their education.
For any questions or assistance with donations, please contact Darcy Swon, Director of the Enhance Hamilton County Foundation, by calling 515-835-0437 or via email at dswon@enhancehamiltoncounty.org.
