• Twisted Pink, along with the family and closest friends of Jennifer Alderman, will honor her legacy and recognize Jennifer's lifelong dream of being a constant and present figure in her children’s life with the annual Jennifer Casey Alderman Legacy Scholarship Award.

Award recipients must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher to maintain annual eligibility. Any funds in excess will support research for metastatic breast cancer in Jennifer’s memory.
