Who is Robert Zhongjie Yin?

We created a private, non-profit Foundation to manage a Scholarship in Robert's memory. The Scholarship connects Robert's memory, with the spirited tradition of excellence among the youth at Wootton High School and throughout our community. The Foundation supports charitable causes including youth education, music, sports and sports safety, organ donation awareness, and if you wish to get involved, those charitable causes you feel passionate about. | Please download, print and distribute this poster, thanks -
