Andrew Pickard 1997-2019
The Andrew Pickard Memorial Scholarship is presented in celebration of Andrew Pickard’s contributions and leadership as a participant and coach in community youth sports in the Town of Nackawic.
Andrew was a kind-hearted soul, who truly cared about everyone and was always concerned about making those around him feel better about themselves and valued. These traits shined through as Andrew went from being a young elementary participant in the Nackawic Minor Basketball Association to him coaching the NMBA Summer Sport Camps each summer as he moved on to high school. He was one of the most versatile and successful student leaders to ever attend Nackawic High School. Andrew played numerous sports and was heavily involved in extra-curricular activities. However, what set Andrew apart from most young people was his genuineness of giving back to his community. Andrew dedicated countless hours to coaching and refereeing youth sports in the area. Andrew will be remembered as a student, player, coach, role model, and one of the most kind-hearted and giving people.
