The Wasilla Noon Rotary would like to invite the community to join in congratulating eight high school senior scholarship winners in both “Leadership” and “Service Above Self” categories to assist students in pursuing their higher education goals. A total of $22,000 was distributed to the winners from across the Valley.
Funds to support the scholarships were raised at the 2020 Rotary Uncorked event. The event grossed over $100,000 and allowed the Wasilla Noon Rotary to provide the largest scholarship distribution ever to high school graduates. Funds also support MY House programs for homeless youth. Thank you to everyone who donates, attends and participated in Uncorked - your support is life changing for the youth in our community!
Special shout-out to The People’s Paper, an annual supporter of Uncorked and MY House homeless youth programs, and to the rotarians who so generously give of their time and talent to make the scholarships and the event happen.
