Sponsored and supported by local businesses and community members, Rick Bobier, who was the main organizer said that without their help this event wouldn’t be possible.

“Most of the sponsors and donors have been active for many years so there is a long term relationship that’s been already built,” Bobier said. “We often touch base with donors in the spring to make sure that they are still able to sponsor their particular scholarship. Once September comes around we then contact to organize cheques to the school and determine who will be able to present their awards in person at the ceremony.”
