Willie ‘Beaver’ Troutman Scholarship Fund

This scholarship, created in 2022, honors Willie “Beaver” Troutman and his longstanding coaching career in Marion County. Willie is well known for his 25 years of coaching Marion Midget Football’s Packers and five years at the former Marion Catholic High School.

Under Willie’s guidance, these young athletes experienced the tremendous hard work and victory of winning many championship games through his leadership. For generations to come, this scholarship will assist students financially to further their potential in academics and athletics.
