New Way Ford in Coon Rapids donates almost $2,000 towards a scholarship in memory of a long-time teacher at Coon Rapids-Bayard (CR-B) Community School District. Leesa Stoffers served as a math teacher and volleyball coach for CR-B up to 2015, when she retired. Stoffers passed away back in September after a fight with breast cancer. In honor of her memory, New Way Ford donated a portion of all car sales and oil change services towards the Leesa Stoffers Senior Memorial Scholarship fund, a total of $1,800. Kyle Bauer, General Manager at New Way Ford, says that honoring Stoffers’s legacy by encouraging continued education through this scholarship is a great feeling.
Bauer says New Way Ford prides itself on helping out the communities in which it serves in more ways than car service and sales.
CR-B administration is working closely with Stoffers’s husband, Rich, to develop qualifications for the scholarship. In an email, Seth Streebin, the high school principal, says, “Leesa was loved by many in this community, and this is a great way to honor her and keep her memory alive.”
