Casey Boyle enjoys being among others who share his dedication to leadership, community service and giving back. As a member of the Elks family, Casey feels right at home.
After years of volunteering to help his community, Casey was selected as a representative for Badger Boys State—a summer leadership program for Wisconsin high school students, focusing on leadership, teamwork and government processes.
Besides learning about the workings of government, Casey was inspired by being with peers who shared the same passions, goals and dedication to community.
“I became aware of the potential impact that a group of young leaders could have within communities, across our state, and potentially in the country,” explains Casey.
As an Elks scholar and member of the Elks family, Casey has again joined a like-minded group of leaders, working to create stronger communities nationwide.
He is excited to continue his lifelong relationship with his Elks family. He regularly participated in the Elks Hoop Shoot growing up and plans to volunteer at a local Hoop Shoot contest soon.
“It was such an honor to have been selected as a Legacy scholarship recipient,” says Casey. “Being an Elks scholar means being a person of the highest character, being a person who reaches out to help build others up, and being a person who fellow students, friends and family can look up to.”
A 501(c)(3) public charity, the Elks National Foundation helps Elks build stronger communities through programs that support youth, serve veterans, and meet needs in areas where Elks live and work. In 2014-15, the Elks National Foundation allocated $1 million to fund 250 scholarships for the children and grandchildren of Elks. If you know any Elks children who are high school seniors, encourage them to visit www.elks.org/enf/scholars for information, including eligibility and deadlines.
