About the WinnDeeK Scholarship

The Queenish Professional Women’s Club WinnDeeK Scholarship was founded in memory of three significant women: Winnie, Kathleen, and Dee. Each of these women’s lives were taken by cancer, yet that did not stop them from leaving a positive influence in the lives of countless numbers of people around the world. There will be three awards presented, with each being dedicated to one of these phenomenal women.
