Our Mission: The Tom McHugh Arts Scholarship has been created to support a student whose character aligns with the spirit of Tom McHugh, a creative artist, an inspirational storyteller, and a community enthusiast. * Proceeds from the 5K will benefit the Tom McHugh Arts Scholarship Award to be presented to a KCHS graduating senior pursuing studies in an Arts curriculum.  A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Rock Hall Elementary School Arts Program.
