Legacy Award
The KHEIA Legacy Award is a tribute to what past KHEIA Board Member, Charles Zimmerman, left behind that is worth passing on. Charlie exhibited an attitude to the KHEIA and hunter education of doing whatever was needed to get things done. He went above and beyond for the Association in whatever task he was assigned. He did this not only for the Association, but also for promoting the mission of hunting and the shooting sports as it pertained to the youth of Kansas.
