Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Julie Langrock Memorial Scholarship Dinner! Your generosity in Julie's memory helped us raise over $8,000 for our scholarship fund!
The $2500 Julie Langrock Memorial Scholarship is sponsored by BBBS of Island County and is open to graduating seniors on Whidbey Island who were either a Little in our program or who volunteered as a Big.
This scholarship was created in memory of our friend, beloved former Executive Director and board member, and fellow defender of potential, Julie Langrock. Julie's dedication to the youth in Island County was a spark of inspiration for so many. With this scholarship, we hope to continue to ignite the potential of youth for many years to come.
100% of proceeds will go towards the Julie Langrock Memorial Scholarship fund.
Pilot for a Day

Pilot for a Day
This summer we joined Cascade Aviation for a second year in a row, as they took our youths through an aviation ground school before hitting the skies with EAA 818 Chapter Pilots. Eight youth experienced what it's like to be a pilot for a day, help the pilots fly planes, and join the Young Eagles program! We look forward to many more days in the clouds with these two amazing organizations! If there are any interested Littles and/or High School Bigs aged 11 to 18 who would like to join us next time, call or email us to sign up!
