Greetings,
Thank you for visiting our page and for your interest in what we are doing to promote higher education. It has been my pleasure to present scholarships to students over the past few years as a part of the Humanitarian Award and Scholarship program I present each year. As we work to further establish this scholarship program to create further awareness to raise even more funds. This will enable us to be able to assist additional students. Our children are our future and we all must help to ensure they receive a good education.
There are several ways you can give assistance to us. We offer opportunities to make a one-time donation, or a monthly donation here on our website. You can also mail us a donation. We have an event annually where the awards are presented, this provides additional ways to participate in our fundraising. We also appreciate your help in creating awareness of what we are doing to make the world a better place. These efforts provide hope and opportunity with educational assistance to children. Your assistance is greatly needed and sincerely appreciated.
With best wishes and warm regards,
Gary Bergenske
Founder and Chairman

GIVING BACK Brings Joy,
Gary Bergenske has been giving back for the past couple of decades, having served in numerous organizations and on boards that raise money for children in need of healthcare, medical related transportation, eyeglasses, dental work, and educational needs. It’s become his passion to find ways to help others, especially children in need.
In 2021 he began raising money to provide scholarship money and has been successful in presenting these scholarships each year through the help of many donors. As these efforts continued to grow, he set up 501(c)(3) charity to make raising funds more attractive to its donors. Bergenske says, “Giving back, it’s the right thing to do.” Please join him in raising money for scholarships, to provide education for more children.
