Congrats to Sam on being named the 2022 Todd & Amy Rogers Foundation Scholarship Recipient!

Learn more about the Todd & Amy Rogers Foundation here http://toddandamy.com/tafoundationinfo.php

"The Todd and Amy Rogers Foundation was established in 2004 honor the memories of Todd and Amy who tragically perished in a mid-air collision on August 22, 2003. Following the accident, a group of friends and family formed the Foundation with the principal purpose of establishing a permanent endowment to support two annual scholarships in the names of Todd and Amy. One of the scholarships will be awarded to a University of Wisconsin-Stout student, Amy's alma-mater, majoring in either art or apparel design. The second scholarship will be dedicated for a student athlete affiliated with the University of Minnesota rugby program where Todd played collegiate rugby.

The first scholarships, in the amount of $500, were awarded in 2005 for the 2005 - 2006 academic school year. The scholarships have been increased to $2,000."

Onto the next one!
THANK YOU to all of our supporters & awesome support staff for a great day.
