Live Like Lash Scholarship

[RayRay27]

Lash Lacoste passed away in 2022 after a long battle with Multiple Myeloma. He was deeply loved and was a vital part of the Toyota Land Cruiser Association community, serving on the Board of Directors for CottonLand Cruisers. Thanks to the generous support of TLCA chapters and members, this scholarship fund was established in his honor to support the next generation of TLCA.

The scholarship established in Lash Lacoste’s name is unique. Lash wasn’t a straight A student. He earned mostly Bs and Cs in high school and college. Many scholarships focus on top academic performers, leaving fewer opportunities for students who don’t fit that mold. This scholarship is intended for students with a B or C average who, above all, demonstrate the same character and qualities that defined Lash’s life.

These qualities are:

• Humility
• Kindness to all
• Positive outlook
• Patience
• Not easily angered
• Smiling and laughing all the time
• Genuinely care for others and be involved in the community
• Do more than asked
• Give more than given
• Think before speaking
• Listen more than talking
• Protect family
• Love fiercely
