Funds will be awarded to local non-profits in early 2026 that promote responsibility, integrity, and academic achievement to area youth. The deadline to apply is Monday, November 3, 2025.

Henson Foundation, the Meuse Post 194 VFW, Tony Tank Tribe 149 Redmen, The Perdue Family Fund, and others which have made generous donations.
