💙🏐 The St. Markella Excellence Award in Memory of Kyriakoula “Kyra” Gasparis 🏐💙
Celebrating Sportsmanship, Hellenic Spirit, and Vitality

Kyra Gasparis was a bright light in our community — a young woman who loved life, volleyball, friendship, and her Greek heritage. Her energy, kindness, team spirit, and love for others left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. Although her life was tragically cut short, her memory continues to inspire our community each and every day.

In honor of Kyra’s beautiful spirit, St. Markella Greek Orthodox Church, with the support of the Direct Archdiocesan District Greek Orthodox Volleyball League, we proudly awarded 4 scholarships — to seniors who exemplify the qualities Kyra embodied: sportsmanship, leadership, Hellenic pride, compassion, and vitality.

Congratulations to the recipients
Theodoros Saridakis,
Konstantinos Galeas,
Sophia Zanelotti &
Konstantina Felekidis
