Cammer-Hill Grant – to assist students with expenses not generally covered by other scholarships

Hattie J. Hilliard Award – for students interested in pursuing an art career

Future Leaders Fund – to enable middle and high school students to participate in educational opportunities that focus on the development of individual skills in communication, fellowship, and leadership.

Our funds are set up for Wisconsin residents, who plan to attend accredited Wisconsin vocational and technical schools.

The public is invited. There will be vendors, exhibitors, and a Silent Auction. Bidding starts at 10:00 AM and ends at 1:30 PM.

Admission is free if you are shopping or bidding on the Silent Auction. However, reservations are required to partake in the brunch.
