Scott Allison was a light in this world, in many ways. As a teacher for many years, Scott was able to cast a wide net with his positive influence. When he wanted to make a more personal difference to kids who needed that positive influence, he got involved with Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, or CASA. In addition to being a positive role model for others, Scott was a fitness fanatic. Whether swimming with Davis Aquatic Masters or running, Scott was passionate about his health and fitness, which made his lung cancer diagnosis even more shocking.
After a brief but intense battle with lung cancer, Scott passed away in October of 2021. Scott’s wife Gail Kennedy decided that an important way to honor Scott was to combine his legacy of helping others, his love of fitness, and his cancer diagnosis. In partnership with the Allison/Kennedy family, Cancer Champions has launched the Scott Allison Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The Scott Allison Memorial Scholarship Fund will allow Scott’s family to provide grants to lung cancer fighters and survivors in Yolo County, in order to assist them in the physical and mental battle against cancer. Any and all donations in Scott’s memory are greatly appreciated, and go directly to aiding lung cancer patients in Scott’s name.
