To All CCHS Graduates: 

This letter is to explain the $50,000 Founders Fund Program.  The goal is for the CCHS classes from 1940-2010 to raise at least $50,000 for the Founders Fund for CCHSAA scholarships.  Each class is hoping to raise at least $1,000 by donating $5-$100 per classmate.

The money for the CCHSAA scholarships will be invested by the Whitley County Community Foundation (WCCF), and only the interest or earnings is awarded for the endowment scholarship.  This endowment fundraiser will run until the goal is reached.

Your contribution is tax deductible via a 501(c)3 program by the Whitley County Community Foundation.  Financial statements of the CCHSAA are always open for viewing at WCCF.  If you would like to contribute, please send your check payable to:

CCHSAA c/o WCCF
1171 E Woods Way
Columbia City, IN 46725

Write on the memo line: "Founders Fund" & Your Graduation Year.   Cash also accepted!

Remember, your contribution says more than a donation-it says "SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FUTURE CCHS GRADUATES".  You will receive a thank you from CCHSAA and WCCF for your tax records.

You can contact your Class Coordinator or Vanessa Bills at Whitley County Community Foundation.

Sincerely,
Andrew Thompson,
President CCHSAA

Each recipient demonstrated not only scholastic excellence but also the values that Bob Brittan held dear: integrity, perseverance, and a dedication to making a difference in their communities.

The Bob Brittan Memorial Scholarship was established to benefit graduating seniors of Columbia City High School who plan to pursue higher education. It is a fitting tribute to Bob’s lifelong commitment to encouraging youth and supporting their future potential.
