Scholarships & Art Competition
We are proud to support our local community and in May, 2022, we awarded over $30,000 in college scholarships, high school art competition, and teacher grants. Our annual Spring and Fall Craft Fairs, along with our other yearlong fundraising and sponsors, provide the funds for these wonderful awards! (Scroll down to see winners and slide show of the event.)
