Thank you to all that “Played for Kiran” in November!

On November 26, 2022 The Cynwyd Club hosted a non US Squash sanctioned
charity tournament which benefitted the Lower Merion Township Scholarship in memory of
Kiran Khurana. Kiran, along with her parents, 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.  Kiran’s tenacity and
work ethic were matched off the court with strong academic skills and a love for
learning.  The Harriton/Lower Merion community misses Kiran and honors
her memory.
The “I Play for Kiran” Tournament has been held in Kiran’s honor since 2019.  The Kiran Khurana Memorial Scholarship is given annually to a graduate of the Lower Merion School District. Many thanks to all the  participants and especially to Sheryl Bartos who organized the event and supported this grant.
