The Max Soti Memorial Scholarship honors the life of Max Matthew Soti—a kid with an infectious smile, a fearless love of motocross, and a heart that made everyone around him feel like family. Through annual scholarships for Plano High School seniors, we keep his spirit alive.
Support the ScholarshipEach year, we award scholarships to graduating Plano High School seniors who show the same determination and heart that defined Max. Applications open in January, with awards announced in April.
Max's infectious enthusiasm brought people together. Our fundraising events and community gatherings honor that spirit, connecting families across the Plano and Kendall County area.
Through the #56 Memorial Ride and other annual events, we celebrate Max's life, his love of motocross, and the lasting impact he made on everyone who knew him.
"Though he left us far too soon on June 17, 2024, his memory remains a source of inspiration and love. Max touched the hearts of all who knew him."— The Soti Family
