The Ryan Wells Foundation was started in 2005 to serve and honor a young man that was a leader among his peers. Ryan's strong character and principles were an example to all. He was an Eagle Scout, a Scuba Scout and co-captain of Tarpon High's golf team in Tarpon Springs, Florida. His dreams for college were to pursue a degree in the culinary and hospitality field. With the help of the foundation, others can fulfill theirs' and Ryan's dreams.

Congratulations to the 2009 Ryan Wells Foundation Scholarship recipients: Tiffany Banks, Jessica Burch, Caitlin Calabrese, Lindsey Daniel, Ruth Martinez, Nicole Romeo, and Lydia Sickmond.
