Memorial Scholarship FULL RIDE DONATION

This is a full ride scholarship donation. It includes a ticket to the Xenite Retreat AND an Argo Express ticket. To make a partial donation to the scholarship, please click here.

The Memorial Scholarship provides financially burdened and struggling Xenites an opportunity to attend the Xenite Retreat. To date, we have awarded over 30 scholarship tickets. This scholarship can be a life changing experience, and has been life saving for some recipients. With your support, we can offer more opportunities to deserving Xenites.

Ann Pilichowski was the backbone of Team Awesome and a founding member of Xenite Retreat. With Ann’s support, Xenite Retreat went from a fledgling vision to a wonderful reality. Ann lost her fight with cancer in 2017.

Tiger Tyler bought the very first ticket to Xenite Retreat. She attended every single retreat until her sudden passing in 2023. Remarkable, memorable, intelligent, brave, powerful, funny and one of the most determined people in this known world, Tiger was a much loved Amazon Elder who touched the lives of so many people. 

Mandy Roe was a Valkyrie who came to Xenite Retreat without knowing anyone, and left with an army full of friends. Mandy was vocal about how profoundly the Xenite Retreat changed her life, and even had the Valkyrie crest tattooed on her! Mandy departed the mortal realm far too early, and now lives eternally in the halls of Valhalla. Mandy reminded us what a gift it is to be proud of exactly who we are, and we will never forget her.

They say the dead can hear our thoughts – we are proud to offer scholarships to Xenite Retreat in Ann, Tiger and Mandy’s memories and we know they would be proud too.
