Tournament to raise funds for Scholarship Award named in honor of Kiran Khurana
On November 30th The Cynwyd Club will host a non-US Squash sanctioned tournament to raise money for a Lower Merion Township Fund Scholarship in memory of Kiran Khurana. Kiran, along with her parents Drs. Jasvir and Divya, was tragically killed in a plane accident in August 2019, and this terrible loss has been felt throughout the community.
Kiran was a 2018 graduate of Harriton High School. She participated in Lower Merion’s district-run squash program beginning in elementary school and throughout her middle and high school years. She was a dependable member of the nationally ranked Harriton Lower Merion (HLM) Squash team, often surprising her opponents with her ability to get to shots that seemed impossible to return. Kiran’s tenacity and work ethic were matched off the court with strong academic skills and a love for learning. Kiran had recently finished her first year at McGill University and had unlimited potential. The Harriton Lower Merion community misses Kiran and honors her memory.
Please consider donating to the Special Award being created in Kiran’s honor. You can make your donation by following the link to our support page (https://lmtsf.org/support/), select CONTRIBUTE TO A SPECIAL AWARD, and use the drop box to select “Kiran Khurana Scholarship.”
If you are interested in sponsoring, donating your time/talents, or playing in the November 30th Tournament, please email [email protected]. ALL levels of players are encouraged to participate. And if you prefer to cheer the players on from the stands please join us on November 30. One of Kiran’s parents was always there, doing just that.
