Congratulations to Cade Watkins, our 2025 Scholarship Recipient!
We are proud to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Cade Watkins, the recipient of the 2025 Collegiate Scholarship. Cade embodies the very spirit and purpose of our scholarship program—a bright, driven, and community-minded student who is determined to make a difference.
Throughout his high school years, Cade distinguished himself as a multi-sport athlete and an active leader in his community. He competed in football, baseball, and wrestling, demonstrating not only athletic excellence but also resilience, discipline, and teamwork. In addition to his athletic commitments, Cade was actively involved in FFA (Future Farmers of America) and 4-H, where he developed strong leadership skills, a deep-rooted commitment to agriculture, and a passion for community service. Cade’s well-rounded accomplishments, academic dedication, and strong moral character made him a standout among this year’s applicants. He represents the very best of what our scholarship aims to support.
This fall, Cade will be attending Purdue University Northwest, where he plans to continue building on his strengths, explore new opportunities, and prepare for a bright and impactful future. We couldn’t be more excited to support him on this journey. During the awards dinner, Cade had the opportunity to meet many of our sponsors and supporters, sharing his gratitude and inspiring all in attendance. His presence served as a powerful reminder of why we gather each year—to invest in the future, one student at a time.
Congratulations again, Cade—you’ve already made your community proud, and we can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish in the years ahead!
