“Each of the funds listed represents a donor or donors who chose to assist students with their educations. The CFCC is proud to serve as a community partner with our growing list of donors,” said Christine Harbeson, CFCC executive director. “We recognize they could have spent their money on anything for their own pleasure; yet they chose to encourage and support these scholars. We are very grateful they chose to support Crawford County students!” She continued, “We also appreciate our Education Co‐Chairwomen, Heather Minton and Susan Mason, along with 40 other community members who assisted in the dedicated evaluation work to ensure anonymity through the selection process. Additionally, we appreciate the staff at Crawford County High School. We know we are fortunate to have a wonderful working relationship with their staff. Here at the CFCC, we do not do anything alone. It takes a lot of people working together toward a common goal to help Crawford County residents on the road to success. My new favorite saying is, ‘It takes a county working together to make positive change.’ Thank you everyone for helping our community’s students!”
