The Virginia Gillham Memorial Bursary Fund honours Virginia Gillham’s extraordinary legacy as one of the founding champions of the Guelph Youth Music Centre. Created in her memory, the fund helps ensure that young musicians can continue their education, participate in meaningful opportunities such as the Kiwanis Music Festival, and remain connected to the GYMC community when financial barriers arise. By supporting students and families who may not qualify for other bursary programs but still face real hardship, the fund carries forward Virginia’s belief in music, education, excellence, and community in a practical and lasting way.
