We are pleased to be offering The Jana Marie Lambert Memorial Scholarship again this year thanks to the continued generous support of a donor!

The Jana Marie Lambert Memorial Scholarship was established in 2016 to honor Jana’s life. Born on December 1st, 1968 in DeSoto, TX, Jana died from complications due to breast cancer on April 25, 2015 in Broomfield, CO. Jana is survived by her mother Janice, husband Ken and her children Carter and Angelica. In her 47 years of life, Jana was the embodiment of optimism, lifting the spirit of everyone she came into contact with. Jana traveled the world, provided a safe and loving home to other people’s kids, and remained unfathomably positive in the face of cancer.
