The Dave Bauer Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded in April of 2015 after the passing of Dave Bauer. Dave was a local teacher, coach, and administrator within the Fairfield and Monroe school districts for 34 years. In April of 2012, Dave was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer, with a prognosis of months. Defying the odds, he courageously battled for 3 years and 3 days, never claiming to have a “bad day”. In his spirit, the Dave Bauer Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to local high school seniors who demonstrate compassion, selflessness, and the never-ending desire to help others in need. 100% of any and all donations go directly to the scholarship fund, in partnership with the Fairfield Community Foundation.
