The Hood Hargett Breakfast Club (www.hoodhargettbreakfastclub.com) presented a $1,000 scholarship to Pang Yang at its September meeting as part of the Liz Murray Scholarship Award.  Yang was honored by owner Chuck Hood at the breakfast, which featured as its speaker public relations executive and author Lee Woodruff.

The West Mecklenburg High School senior carries a 4.7 weighted GPA into her final semester and is a star on her tennis team.  A Varsity member and team captain, Pang is also a tennis tutor.  She is a member of the National Honor Society, the National Society of High School Scholars, an AP Calculus Peer Tutor and a member of the Japanese Club, the Yoga Club and the West Mecklenburg choir.  Although undecided as to which school she will attend, Pang makes medical school and the study of pathology her goal.

HHBC gives out monthly scholarships to Student Athletes of the Month, each of whom qualifies for the Liz Murray Scholarship Award at the end of the school year.  To date, the program has awarded some $175,000 in scholarships, including last year’s award of $5,000 to West Mecklenburg High student Mitchell Plemmons.

The Hood Hargett Breakfast Club connects its members with influential local and national leaders via dozens of events throughout the year. Please visit www.hoodhargettbreakfastclub.com or call Jennifer Snyder at 704-602-9529 for more information.
