In March 2002, Waynesboro Players established the Lillian Perkins Morse Scholarship Fund to benefit students who will pursue an interest in the performing arts through higher education. Lillian was a champion of young people and the Players wish to carry on her legacy through this Fund. Your contribution will help to ensure its continuation.  Again, checks may be made payable to Waynesboro Players, Inc. Please note on your check LM Scholarship Fund.
