Robert’s Rendezvous Scholarship

This event was held several times in memory of Robert E. Lea Jr. who passed away September 7, 2015 from mesothelioma which is a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Not only did his family and friends feel the loss of Robert, but the entire community felt the loss of him and it was best said by a community member, “Amherst lost one of the good guys.”

Robert’s Rendezvous was dedicated to providing financial support to our community through scholarships, donations to community projects with unmet financial needs, to asbestos prevention, and mesothelioma research.
