Kelli Jo Lovich of Butler received a $1,000 2018 Isabelle Christenson Memorial Scholarship from the Center for Organ Recovery & Education (CORE) and Izzie’s Gifts of Hope Foundation.

The scholarship recognizes individuals who have been directly affected by organ, tissue or cornea donation, and honors each person’s contributions to organ donation awareness and community involvement.

Lovich’s 4-year-old son, Colbee, died four years ago and became an organ donor, saving the lives of three others.

Inspired by the work of a nurse during her son’s care, Lovich is working toward becoming a flight nurse, attending classes at Butler County Community College now, and starting at UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing soon.
