I am starting this to fund the John Traxler Memorial scholarship to honor one (or possibly more) students pursuing fine arts in their college careers.

Rev. Herman A. Martin was a man with a vision. He was a loving husband, father, a devoted leader in the community and a businessman. Rev. Martin was not only a Baptist Clergyman but an entrepreneur in catering and painting. Rev. Martin possessed a passion for educating youth. In an effort to assist high school seniors in Arkansas, in the furtherance of their education, the family of the late Rev. Herman A. Martin would like to offer this scholarship in his name.

Roberts family

This fund enables people to donate toward the Samantha S. Roberts Memorial Scholarship. The Samantha S. Roberts Memorial Scholarship hopes to support a student from the Midwest who is pursuing a degree in art.

Gregory Wilkins

The Sally J. Wilkins Memorial Scholarship fund was established to honor and commemorate Sally J. Wilkins. Sally spent the majority of her career as a Nurse Practitioner, as well as her personal life, giving back to anyone, and many times at her expense. She prioritized others over herself and was known for her compassion, kindness, grace, imperial understanding, and her giving and selfless nature. She dedicated her life to helping the students of the future and ensuring youth had open access to educational opportunities so they can build a better world. All money raised from this fund will be given to students who are going back to College to study within the Healthcare field, specifically Nursing, Radiography or the Therapies. This fund honors Sally and all those she made smile throughout her life and ensures those smiles live on and are never forgotten.

I'd like to create a scholarship in Adrin's memory to help other young men pursue their educational goals. I truly believe that going to college and obtaining a degree will greatly increase a young man's chance of not only survival, but long-term success in life.

In May of 2023, we lost our colleague and friend Jeff Essenmacher. He was a smart and kind person who went out of his way to help others. In his career, he worked in IT and over the years he built a large network of colleagues who remember when Jeff jumped in to assist in some way making their task easier. In his private life, Jeff had woven together a large network of actual family and friends who grew to be. There was a similar theme of kindness and being of help. One way that Jeff showed up to make a difference was in being a foster parent. He took on the difficult task of showing up for kids when they needed him most. To honor his memory, his colleagues at work are starting a scholarship in his name that will benefit foster kids.
