The “Papas” of the Hemingway Look-Alike Society (HLAS) kicked-off the festivities of the famous Hemingway Look-Alike Contest by presenting $21,000 in scholarships to students attending The College of the Florida Keys (CFK) on the stage of Sloppy Joe’s on July 21. “Papa” Stephen Terry awarded six scholarships for literary talent and six scholarships to nursing students. They also presented the Kermit “Shine” Forbes Scholarship, named for Hemingway’s boxing sparring partner, to two CFK-bound Key West High School graduates. Throughout the year, the “Papas” and “Mamas” collect donations and fundraise at various events held during the Hemingway Days celebration to support the group’s ongoing philanthropic commitment to CFK students.
