The Mid-State Mopars Car Club created this fund to honor the memory of Denny R. Moore, one of the founding members of the club. Denny's enthusiasm and dedication, along with the other founding members of Mid-State Mopars, grew the club from just 10 members when it started in 2006 to over 50 members in 2013. As a memorial, the club decided to offer an award to a high school student who demonstrated the same passion and aptitude for car mechanics that Denny did. Through memorial contributions and various fundraisers, the club is growing this fund to provide a lasting legacy. Because Denny was a 1968 graduate of the State College Area School District, the club decided to make the award available to SCASD students participating in the Little Lions Auto Program. Each year, the award will be awarded to a student who demonstrates active interest in the program, enthusiasm and aptitude for car repair, and good citizenship in school.
