Big congratulations to our Wa-Hi students!

This past weekend, 27 Walla Walla High School students attended the CASHE Conference at Washington State University! This student-led leadership conference brings students from across Washington together to explore higher education, cultural identity, and community.

An extra special congratulations to Crystal Solis-Garcia and Kevin Rodriguez Contreras, who each received a $1,000 scholarship to attend WSU!

Only FOUR scholarships were awarded to high school seniors from across the state, and WaHi students earned TWO of them!

Through our Elevate initiative, United Way of the Blue Mountains helps local students explore postsecondary opportunities, navigate scholarship applications, and take the next steps toward their future. We love seeing our students succeed!

It’s Give Like Dolly Day!

One of the greatest parts of Dolly’s legacy is her belief in giving back and making a difference. She understood that small acts of generosity open big doors, especially for children.

Today, we’re celebrating that spirit.
If you care about early literacy, believe in the power of books, or want to help local children have more opportunities to learn and dream, consider making a gift to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Your support helps provide a free, age-appropriate book every month to children from birth to age five, giving them their very own library at home and helping foster a love of reading from the very beginning.

Every donation helps bring another book into a child’s hands. Every book opens the door to a new story, a new idea, or a new dream.
Today, give a little-or give a lot-and help us keep the magic of reading growing in our community.
