In honor of Graycen Vargo—the son of industry veteran Dawnery Vargo, COO of VM Products®—and the extraordinary legacy he leaves behind, the Graycen Vargo Excellence Award Scholarship has been established to support and inspire others who embody his same passion for excellence, determination, and service to others.
Graycen lived with strength, authenticity, kindness, and a quiet determination that made everyone around him better. His impact was not measured only by what he accomplished, but by the way he encouraged others, showed up for those he loved, and lived fully every day.
Managed through The Pest Management Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to advancing the pest management industry through education, research, and outreach, this scholarship will help create opportunities for future generations while carrying forward Graycen’s momentum, character, and spirit.
Please consider making a donation in honor of Graycen’s legacy.
