  • 1

    Providing college/university scholarships.

  • 2
    Assisting in growth and development of the Assumption Historical Society and the history of surrounding areas.
  • 3

    Promoting and providing upland hunting opportunities for youth, veterans and wounded warriors.

Everything we do centers around the citizens of Christian, Shelby and surrounding counties as reflected by our mission:

To improve the lives of our residents through education and hunting opportunities.

One hundred (100) percent of all donations are directed to implementation of the Foundation’s three goals.

Contributions may be earmarked for Scholarship, Historical Society or Wounded Warriors/Veterans/Youth.
