This was our first-ever writing contest, and it was a great success. All fees went to support our scholarship. Normally, our writing conference raises funds for the scholarship, but due to COVID-19, we had to cancel this year. We still hope to reach $2000 in donations to support a student at Centralia College through our writing contest and other contributions.
If you would like to make a donation toward our scholarship, click here for more information. We may be living in strange times, but stories are still important, as is making sure that anyone who wishes to improve their education gets the opportunity to do so.
Congratulations to the winners!!!
