NEW THIS YEAR!

Traditionally, our scholarships have been awarded to students continuing their education at colleges and universities. Beginning this year and moving forward, we’re proud to expand that opportunity to students pursuing careers in the skilled trades. We believe this change will allow us to support even more young people in our communities and recognize the many different paths that can lead to a successful, rewarding career. We have tremendous respect for the trades and the important role they play in the communities we call home. By investing in students pursuing these careers, we believe our scholarships can make an even greater impact—not only in the lives of the students we support, but right here in our local communities for years to come.

Giving Back to the Communities That Mean So Much to Us

In addition to awarding scholarships, we take great pride in giving back to the communities of Rantoul and Carpentersville. Thanks to the generous contributions from this year’s golf outing, we were able to fund one new scholarship and renew five existing ones for deserving students.

The impact of our Scholarship & Community Fund reaches far beyond the golf course. Because of the generosity shown at last year’s outing, we were able to invest in students, support local organizations, help provide food for families in need and contribute to programs and events throughout our communities.

We proudly upheld our tradition of purchasing official green FFA jackets for all new Rantoul High School FFA Club members, ensuring they feel recognized and supported as they begin their journey in agricultural leadership.

Other community donations made possible this year include:

Multiple tenderloin donations to the Rantoul Food Pantry, helping fill their freezers as they serve more than 500 families each month
Boneless picnics donated for the State Fair
Monetary donations to the FISH Food Pantry and Rantoul Food Pantry
Porchetta and osso bucco donated for the Swine Mixer
Pork butts donated for the Kids In Business Expo Dinner
Pork donated to the Carter Education & Community Foundation
Pork butts donated for a local 4-H fundraiser

We are proud to see the support from this event turned into opportunities for students and meaningful contributions throughout our communities. Thank you for helping us continue these efforts year after year and make a difference where it matters most.
