Kailee Magsam is the 2023 Crookston Firefighters Association Memorial Scholarship recipient.
The scholarship is to honor all past members of the Crookston Firefighters Association (CFA) that are no longer with us today. This scholarship was made possible by an endowment sponsored by the Association’s charitable gaming.
The CFA’s charitable gaming to fund our life-saving equipment and fire apparatuses. A portion of those proceeds are also given to local community non-profit causes with an emphasis on children’s programs and activities. Crookston Firefighters Association has charitable gaming at the One N Only Bar and Grill, Crookston Inn Scobey’s Pub and Grub, Snow Sled Inn Bar and Grill, and Minakwa Golf Course.
Kailee is a 2023 graduate of Crookston High School. She will be attending the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) in the fall, studying pre-medicine. Kailee’s community service, academic work, and moving personal essays make us proud to select her for this year’s award.

The townships we serve are Crookston, Roome, Eldred, Euclid, Belgium, Fanny, Parnell, Lowell, Andover, Fairfax, Gentilly, Kertsonville, Hammond, and Russia.
