It has been just over a year and a half since our beloved brother, son, uncle and friend Akins Johnson tragically passed away while on a camping trip with his friends and girlfriend in Kookanusa. Together his friends and family would like to continue his legacy through a memorial scholarship at the university of Calgary.



It was evident as a young boy that Akins was a very curious and intelligent sould. As he grew older, his passion for the pursuit of knowledge firmly rested on the exploration of history and space which helped him cultivate a deep appreciation for all things unknown.



To carry on his legacy we strive to raise money to set up the Akins Johnson Memorial Scholarship that will financially assist students who share his passion for history and the arts for many generations to come.



We would like to use our tragedy as a tool to assist the growth and development of young scholars for years to come and with your help we can make this dream a reality. A donation of any amount will help us reach our goal of $25,000 that will set up a scholarship in his name in perpetuity. Our 2016 fundraising efforts raised $3000 through our partnership with the University of Calgary, so we only have $22,000 left to go!



We thank you in advance for your support! Your donation is greatly appreciated and will be used to further the education of many future students.
