His legacy
The Lee Welker Memorial Annual Music Scholarship  

A music scholarship was established at Lee's college, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC in early 2005. 

Hopefully, through your donations, various benefits and the sale of Lee’s CDs, the fund will be able to help MUSIC students at Appalachian for a long time!  (Please consider donating to Lee's fund when your company does its annual fund-giving.)

The Lee Welker Memorial Annual Music Scholarship 
North Carolina Eye Bank Donor  

Lee was a cornea donor. Because of him, two people are now gifted with sight.  Lee was a kind, loving and giving person.  He would be happy we had helped him give this extraordinary gift.
