🌟 SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT 🌟
🎓 Congratulations, MacKenzie Bien!
MacKenzie found her calling watching women like Sophia Minnaert, Rachel Herzog, and Amanda Stein break into sports journalism, a field long dominated by men. Seeing them report at such a high level inspired her to start writing her own sports articles for the school newspaper. She's a graduate of Menomonie High School and the recipient of the Menomonie HS Faculty Scholarship. This fall, she's heading to UW-Madison to study Journalism.
"I decided I wanted to become a sports-journalist by watching and reading news by female reporters like Sophia Minnaert, a female reporter known for working with the Milwaukee Brewers, Rachel Herzog, and Amanda Stein, who are both reporters for the New Jersey Devils. Seeing women reporting at such a high level in a male-dominated field inspired me to start writing articles about sports in the school newspaper."
MacKenzie, your passion for journalism already shines through — we know you're going to do great things. Congrats and good luck this fall! 💛
Every scholarship starts with someone who decided to give. Could that be you? 🌎 cfdunncounty.org | 📞 715-232-8019

West CAP’s Boyceville Pantry depends on reliable equipment to safely store and distribute food to neighbors throughout the community. With three freezers reaching more than 12 years old, replacing equipment one at a time helps prevent unexpected failures and potential food loss while increasing the pantry’s capacity to accept frozen donations.
The Community Foundation of Dunn County was proud to support this project, which has helped 544 individuals access critical food resources. West CAP’s Boyceville Pantry serves an average of 188 households each month across the Boyceville and Glenwood City school districts.
Together, we’re helping strengthen the resources local organizations need to continue serving our neighbors.

🎓 Congratulations, Lauren McCalla!
Lauren isn't dreaming small. She's aiming to become an All-American runner, represent the U.S. in world competitions, and pursue her medical degree — all at once. She's a graduate of Menomonie High School and the recipient of the 1LT Jeremy Wolfe Memorial Scholarship. This fall, she's heading to the University of Washington to study Sports Nutrition with a minor in Spanish.
"I have not even come close to reaching all the goals I have set for myself. I picked the University of Washington so I can be an All-American runner and represent the U.S. in world competitions while also pursuing my medical degree."
Congratulations, Lauren! This is just the beginning of the impact you're going to have in sports nutrition. 💛
