Kyrsten's Kloset

Galleries | Videos | Audio | Documents


The Kyrsten’s Kloset fundraiser is a way a Hubbard family honors a loved one’s memory while helping others in need. Kyrsten was killed by a hit-and-run drunken driver April 4, 2003. Kyrsten’s parents and a family friend formed the Kyrsten Elizabeth Studer Foundation through the Community Foundation of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio which provides free prom dresses to girls who sign a pledge to not drink and drive. It runs from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on March 24 and 25, 2018 at Roosevelt Elementary School in Hubbard, Ohio. Photos by Scott Williams - The Vindicator
