A central Kentucky middle school is hosting a scholarship fundraiser for a fallen state police officer who was killed in the line of duty in Lyon County in 2015.
The News-Enterprise reports J.T. Alton Middle School in Vine Grove will host a fundraiser for the Trooper Cameron Ponder Memorial Scholarship on September 9 during a girls’ basketball game.
