Wow, wow, wow! Another Evening of the Stars is in the books. ✨
Last Wednesday was an incredible evening celebrating the achievements and future plans of our seniors! From education to healthcare, law enforcement to the trades, and so many paths in between - these students have so much to be proud of!

A huge thank you to our generous scholarship donors. Because of your support, Redwood Area Dollars for Scholars awarded $122,600 in scholarships, and with the additional support of our community partners who presented at the ceremony, students walked away with a total of $146,950 in scholarships in just one evening! Generosity in action, right here in our community! ❤️

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓We wish each of you the very best as you begin your next chapter!
