Congratulations Elsie Blackmore!

Celebrating the First Recipient of the Steve Pepoon Memorial Scholarship
We are honored to announce the very first recipient of the Steve Pepoon Memorial Scholarship: Elsie Blackmore.
Created in memory of Paola native and Emmy Award-winning television writer Steve Pepoon, this scholarship was established to encourage and support students pursuing passions in writing, theater, film, and storytelling — the same creative path Steve followed from Paola High School to a remarkable career in Hollywood.
Elsie was selected for her creativity, dedication, and passion for the arts, qualities that reflect the spirit of this scholarship and Steve’s enduring legacy. We are excited to see where her talents and dreams will lead.
A special thank you to everyone who contributed to the scholarship fund and helped make this opportunity possible for local students.
🎥 Elsie recently shared a heartfelt thank you video, which can be viewed on the Miami County Community Foundation Facebook page here.
We look forward to continuing Steve’s legacy by investing in future storytellers and creators for years to come.
