We are proud to have awarded Lincoln with the Ella Moore Character Award for 2023. Lincoln is now at Columbia University studying Biomedical Technology.

Her essay focused on her aptitude for perseverance. She told a greatly personal story of her survival and her perseverance through extremely challenging situations.
