Working Together for Student Success
The Kiwanis Club of Ontario established a scholarship with the TVCC Foundation in 2007 and since then has given out 19 scholarships totaling nearly $22,000. Recently the Ontario service club contributed $1,000 to the Foundation that will go towards their annual award. This year’s recipient is Ruby Rocha Gutierrez who will receive $1,749 for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The Kiwanis Club scholarship is awarded to a graduate of Ontario High school who is involved in leadership activities, community service and who has a good academic standing and financial need.
We are grateful to the Kiwanis Club of Ontario for their generosity and support of the students we support.

2025 Ontario Chamber Banquet
The 111th Annual Ontario Chamber Banquet was held the evening of Friday, January 10, 2025, to honor several distinguished citizens and other awardees.
The Foundation had the pleasure of decorating the table for Agriculture Business of the Year, which went to the Malheur Experiment Station. Table decorations are judged in different categories and our table won "Most Unique". What was most unique was the "golden" onions we had as table favors that really set our table apart.
Thanks to Coralie at Eastside Florist for turning the real onions into gold! It was a beautiful table and I want to thank Lisa, Caroline and Coralie for making it so unique!
Stuart and the staff at the Experiment Station loved the table! Prudi and Holly were also at Friday's banquet and joined in the photo.
