A Scholarship Fund​

In Memory of Justin Bodhi Steigmeier

June 30, 2008 –December 19, 2023​

The Justin Bodhi Steigmeier Sunshine Fund is dedicated to honoring Justin Bodhi, an exceptional young man whose life was marked by extraordinary accomplishments and compassionate spirit. Justin was a devoted son, a 2nd degree black belt Taekwondo teacher and state champion, an artist, an Eagle Scout candidate, and wilderness skills teen leader. 

Justin transitioned at the age of 15, leaving a profound impact on his family and community. As we remember his humility and leadership, we invite you to join us in continuing his legacy by supporting the education of youth and families.
