Thank you to everyone who attended Sunday's event in Oxford and the many media outlets who captured great photos and video of the day honoring Hana, Justin, Madisyn and Tate. 🌸

Nearly five years after a shooting shook Oxford High School, a garden is growing and so is the community around it.

Three new members have joined Four County Community Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2026. Julia Kaiser, Angie McCoy and Adam Schlusler were formally welcomed at the board’s quarterly meeting in April.

All three previously served in other roles with Four County Community Foundation before joining the board. Julia reviews grants and scholarships; serves on the Proactive Committee and has presented grant writing workshops with 4CCF Executive Director Kathy Dickens. Angie takes part in 4CCF’s Hispanic Coalition and helped plan prior Hispanic Heritage Fiesta events. Adam has lent his expertise as a member of the Foundation’s Finance Committee for several years.

“Four County Community Foundation is so fortunate to have dedicated trustees to steward charitable dollars that enrich our communities. Trustees honor our history, while keeping an eye on the future. We appreciate their time and effort,” said 4CCF Executive Director Kathy Dickens.

💚April is National Volunteer Month and we would be remiss to not acknowledge the amazing volunteers who make our work possible!

Recognizing their committment now is particularly timely too! In April alone, volunteer grant reviewers read and scored more than 20 applications. Likewise, hundreds of applications have been read in the months of March and April by community members who give hours of their time to our 80-plus scholarship offerings.

Of course, we can't forget our Imagination Library and Women's Fund volunteers who regularly take time to meet and plan events that benefit our communities.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
