Celebrating 2019 Your generosity has delivered some exciting results this year. Our first Giving Tuesday campaign raised more than half the money we need to help our graduating secondary school students aspire to college and trade school dreams. Our annually-sponsored students grew in number and are continuing quality education thanks to the dedication of their sponsors. Our youngest fundraisers had amazing success through small donations to the Mackeben school-wide drive.  The result of this outpouring of support is demonstrated in the growing number of OHU university and trade school graduates who are starting new careers in a challenging job market. Happy holidays and thank you for making 2019 a year of hope and dreams-delivered.
