Honoring Paige’s Legacy By Empowering Futures
Paige was a beautiful person whose kindness and love spread through her shining smile and helpful character. A black belt in karate, she loved sharing her passion for martial arts with others. Through the Paige J. Batten Memorial Scholarship, we continue her legacy by supporting students with scholarships and community giving in her honor.
