BLN/Krystal Evette Robinson Memorial Scholarship

Our daughter Krystal Evette Robinson died suddenly at age five from complications of sickle cell disease. She was a beautiful little girl with a very kind, giving and unselfish spirit relative to her older sister and younger brother. Since we did not have to fund her education due to her early demise, we decided to help fund other students in lieu of Krystal. By so doing, her memory would always be strengthened and perpetuated in a positive manner reflecting her generous and unselfish personality.
