🎓🔧 **CELEBRATING OUR 2026 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS!** 🔧🎓

We may be sharing this exciting news a little later in the year, but these accomplishments are absolutely worth celebrating! ❤️

In May, The North Foundation proudly awarded **$13,000 in scholarships to 13 students pursuing careers in the skilled trades and awarded a Wadsworth wrestler with the annual $500 Greg North Perseverance Award!** 👏

These students attend local career and technical education programs, including Four Cities Compact, Medina County Career Center, Portage Lakes Career Center, where they are building the skills and knowledge to pursue their future careers.

This mission holds a special place in our hearts because of Greg North. As the owner of an automotive shop, Greg understood firsthand the value of skilled trades, the importance of hands-on experience, and the difference that knowledge and mentorship can make. He believed in passing that knowledge on to the next generation and helping young people build successful futures.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, sponsors, and community, along with the support of our fundraising events we're able to invest in these students and help open doors to promising careers.

**Please join us in congratulating our scholarship recipients!** We're excited to celebrate their accomplishments and the bright futures ahead of them.

Every donation, sponsorship, and act of support helps us carry Greg's legacy forward, one student and one opportunity at a time.

From all of us at The North Foundation, thank you for being part of this mission!
