                                                              Travis would always advocate for the right thing —

                                                              Travis was also courageous. That courage was

your generosity breaks a record!
We are happy to announce that 2020 grants
totaled a record-breaking $1,053,766!

Grants are usually presented at a ceremony where
all gather and share their success stories. Instead,
during several days this year, we were fortunate
to greet everyone individually — in masks!
Although different, this gave us the opportunity
to have meaningful conversations about plans
and programs with each grantee.

Fund, non-scholarship Endowment funds, and
