Dear Friends and Supporters,

On behalf of the Gilpin County Education Foundation Board of Directors, thank you for being part of this year’s Scholarship Dinner Fundraiser. Whether you joined us in person, supported us as a sponsor, donated a door prize, or have been a champion of this event in years past, we are incredibly grateful for your continued investment in our students.

Thanks to your generosity, we will have more scholarship funding available than ever before this year, with just over $13,000 to contribute directly to Gilpin County students. It was an inspiring evening filled with community spirit, meaningful connections, and a shared commitment to our youth.

We are also thrilled to announce the creation of a new Girls in STEM Scholarship, made possible by a generous first-time attendee. This scholarship will support young women pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, helping to expand opportunities and encourage the next generation of leaders in these critical fields.

For those who were unable to attend this year’s dinner but would like to be part of this impact, you can still contribute to this year’s scholarship fund. You can make your gift online through the website (gilpineducationfoundation.org).

Your support, whether through attendance, sponsorship, or a donation, truly makes a difference. Because of you, we are able to invest in our students’ futures and strengthen our entire community.

Thank you again! When the community comes together, we can make a big impact!

With Sincere Appreciation,

Sarah Swanson
GCEF Board President
