The Washington County Charitable Foundation is pleased to report that a record-setting number of scholarship winners were present at the Chandelier Ballroom for the 2026–27 Scholarship Awards Event on May 18. Even with 40 more scholarship winners than last year, the ceremony stayed on schedule, just as it has in past years. A very heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who made the event especially memorable this year, including our top-notch crew of volunteers led by Jane Maley, who flawlessly coordinated the flow of students throughout the presentation. The volunteer setup crew and event ushers included Pat Olsen, Judy Rupnow, Craig Hoeppner, Ruth Reines, Roger Choinsky, Shawn Graff, and Maggy Kuhn. In addition to their work with setup, Paul De Chant and Dennis Degenhardt were stellar, as always, serving as emcees for the event. Last but certainly not least, a huge thank you goes out to all of our scholarship donors and to Forte Bank for sponsoring this year’s awards ceremony.
