Four senior graduates from United high school recently received $750 dollar scholarships from the Matt Repp Memorial Foundation, those students being Addison Anderson, Jack Jungmann, Carlie Peel, and Natalie Brakeville. The Matt Repp Memorial was founded in honor of Kirkwood native Matt Repp who passed away in 2013 at the age of 28. The foundation has given over $30,000 dollars to local graduates. Speaking at WMOI-WRAM’s Halfway to Freezing For Food Event, mother of the late Matt Repp and director of the Repp Memorial, Kris Repp, gave details about another upcoming event that the foundation will be hosting, their 10th annual Matt Repp Memorial Golf Outing.
