🎉Today was a full circle moment for our foundation and our community.

Because of your support, the Ray Ugowski Jr Memorial Foundation Co. was honored to donate $5,000 to Cudahy High School to help purchase tools and equipment for students entering the skilled trades.

A special thank you to Mr. Lange and the staff at Cudahy High School for welcoming us today and giving us a tour of the shop classrooms. It meant so much to see firsthand the spaces where students are learning real skills and preparing for real careers.

This is exactly what this foundation was created to do, invest in the next generation right here at home.

❗️And the impact does not stop here❗️

We currently have up to $5,000 in student trade grants available for graduating seniors from South Milwaukee, Cudahy, and Oak Creek who are entering the trades.

These grants can help students pay for tools, certifications, equipment, and other training related costs, not just school expenses.

✔️Applications are due April 10.

If you know a senior planning a future in the trades, please encourage them to apply or contact their school’s student services office for more information.

To everyone who attended the car show, joined us at the meat raffle, donated, shared posts, or supported us along the way, this impact belongs to you.

You helped put tools into students’ hands. You helped open doors for the next generation.

Together we are continuing Ray’s legacy in the strongest way possible by investing in our community.

🚨 $5,000 AVAILABLE FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ENTERING THE TRADES — APPLICATIONS DUE APRIL 10 🚨

Every year, we set aside $5,000 in grants for high school seniors from South Milwaukee, Cudahy and Oak Creek heading into careers in the skilled trades.

And every year… too many students who should apply never do.

If you (or someone you know) is planning a future in the trades, this money can be used for things like:

🛠 Tools
🥾 Work boots
📚 Certifications
🎓 Trade school expenses…

This opportunity exists because we believe the next generation of tradesmen deserve real support, not just encouragement.

📅 Application deadline: April 10 ⏳

Parents, teachers, counselors, friends please share this so it reaches the right students in time.

Let’s put these funds into the hands of someone who’s ready to build their future.

Craig has been one of our biggest supporters since the very beginning. His kindness, dedication, and willingness to always step in and help have meant more than words can express — especially during our very first car show. We are so grateful for everything he has done for our foundation. Please mark your calendars and join us as we come together to support him. ❤️

As we enter our seventh year, we pause to reflect on what continues to connect us: family, friendship, community pride, and the spirit we carry forward together. At the heart of it all is Ray. His memory, his love for cars and music, and the way he brought people together. Honoring him remains the compass for everything we do.

Last year marked our first shift in core board members, and this year brings another new chapter with changes to our President and Vice chairs. The love, support, and dedication remain strong, showing that the bonds we share extend far beyond titles. This work reminds us that to keep this foundation thriving, we need to support each other through the chapters of our lives, celebrating both continuity and change. We also want to celebrate the dedication of all board members, past and present, as well as our volunteers who come back year after year. Together, with our community, we're ensuring this work continues to grow and flourish.

As we look ahead, we are excited for the moments that will bring us together, from car shows to meat raffles and beyond. We invite friends, neighbors, and community partners to join us in celebrating what Ray inspired: connection, joy, and the pride of building something meaningful together.

With each gathering, we carry his spirit forward, strengthen our community, and create experiences that leave a lasting impact.
