SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISING

To honor Tanna’s incredible spirit and “never give up” attitude, Boyd & Dody Hopkins and family have generously offered to match any monies raised up to $50,000 toward a scholarship in memory of Tanna. The monies raised will be placed in a perpetual fund within the South Dakota Community Foundation in Pierre and the interest earned on this fund will be distributed every year to Sanborn Central’s graduating seniors.

We are more than half way to the goal!!

I am conducting a Pampered Chef fundraiser for this great cause that honors Tanna!!

If there are less than $600 in sales before tax, Pampered Chef will donate 10% to the scholarship foundation. If there is $600 or more in orders, 15% of the sales will be donated. Now is a great time to do some holiday shopping!!

There will be catalogs and order forms in the school office. You can also check out the face book event at https://www.facebook.com/events/1643957459219330/

Please turn in orders to the school or you can send a message to me with your order. If you need my email or phone number, contact me through messenger and I will try to get back to you as quickly as possible.

Together, we can make a great impact for future scholarships for Sanborn Central graduates!!!    Jo Oberg
