2024 Initiative

Bonnie and Nate Crochunis awarding scholarships to the Liberty HS graduating class of 2024, Ryan's class.  A well deserving group of young people.  May 30th, 2024.  

The Cro Foundation will contribute funds to Liberty High School for the creation of two scholarships for graduates in the Class of 2024. The foundation will coordinate with the school to identify specific criteria to award the scholarships, including recognition of academic effort, athletics and good character.

Ryan’s Reason: Ryan would have graduated as part of the Class of 2024. Financing the cost of college can be a daunting task, with many of the scholarships being reserved for star athletes and academic excellence. As a student and athlete himself, Ryan was a passionate individual; however, he would not have qualified for these types of scholarships.

Target Fundraising Goal: $10,000 ($5,000 each) - Additional considerations may be made depending on the number of applicants and number of worthy recipients.

Status: This project supporting the class of 2024 is complete. It was certainly a grand slam. The Cro Foundation awarded $20,500 in scholarships to the Liberty High School graduating class (Ryan’s Class). This was very meaningful to the foundation given this is Ryan’s class and he would have graduated along with these young adults if he were still with us. We had 15 applicants and decided to make awards to all 15. We made 2 awards of $5,000, 4 awards of $1,500, and 9 awards of $500. We appreciated the interest in our newly established scholarship. All the best to the class of 2024.

Grand Slam!
