The first scholarship will be distributed in June 1999. ``Our vision is to start out small,'' said Mike Nembeck, Erica's father. ``Maybe we'll give it to a couple of people if we get enough funds.'' Tickets for the softball game will be $3. ``This event can only be successful if the community comes out and supports it,'' Ellis said. ``It'll be a good game and a lot of fun.''
