John U. Miller Crop Walk
Great News from the CROP Walk Committee!
We’ve reached the deadline to turn in cash and checks to the CACC office, but online giving can continue through the end of June.
We’re excited to share that as of June 9th, our CROP Walk income has surpassed $100,000 — in fact, we’ve received $100,363!
That means we’re within striking distance of our goal of $104,500 — we’re almost there!
Every contribution counts, and your support can help us get there. To donate, simply click the link below.
Scholarship Opportunities
Hogancamp Seminary Scholarship: Thanks to the generosity of the late Grace Hogancamp, the Council has some modest funds available to be used as scholarships for seminary students.
