Please join us for the  

37th Annual Scholarship Luncheon

This year, we are proud to present the third year of Hughbanks Family Scholarships, named for our friend and Foundation co-founder C. David Hughbanks '54. C. David granted a substantial portion of his estate to the Golden Beavers Scholarship Committee, to bestow upon worthy applicants attending schools and trade programs locally in Washington state.

Join friends and family to recognize this group of hard-working seniors. Let's congratulate their efforts! You do not need to be a Golden Beaver to attend this celebration of Ballard High School achievers.

We Look Forward to Seeing You Sunday, June 7.

Sincerely,
