The Ryan Grandmont Memorial Fund has been set up by Ryan’s family and friends to leave a lasting legacy. Ryan passed in June 2018. Ryan grew up in Argyle, MB and spent his childhood developing a love for all things sports, especially hockey. He grew up playing hockey and baseball and continued that on into his adult life, helping organize fundraising tournaments to give back and help give every child the opportunity to be involved in sports. Ryan attended Stonewall Collegiate and went on to study Business Administration at Red River College and graduated in 2001. He went on to spend his career at the family farm machinery dealership, Leo’s Sales & Service.

Funds raised from the Ryan Grandmont Golf Tournament will be added to the fund annually. The fund will support the Ryan Grandmont Memorial Scholarships and will have 3 awards:

• One award is to go to a student at Stonewall Collegiate who has an average Grade 12 mark of at least 75% and who intends to go into post-secondary education in an agricultural related field. If there is no student going in to agriculture, then the award can to a student who has an average Grade 12 mark of at least 75% and is an outstanding athlete and who intends to take post-secondary education.
• The second award is to go to a student at Stonewall Collegiate who has an average Grade 12 mark of at least 75% and is an outstanding athlete and who intends to take post-secondary education.
• The third award is to go to a student at Ecole Edward Schreyer in Beausejour, who has an average Grade 12 mark average of at least 75% and who intends to go into post-secondary education in an agricultural related field.
