Dear STAR Party Guests,

Thank You for celebrating with us at the Jeannette Rankin Foundation’s STAR Party last night!

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the moving celebration of Rankin Scholars and your generosity. Together, you raised an incredible $131,000 before the match from our angel donor!  These funds will directly support the Montana Rankin Scholar program, serving 53 Rankin Scholars this year across our state’s Tribal Colleges and Montana University System, including Tashina Buckles honored last night.

Thank You for being part of our Rankin village and continuing Jeannette Rankin’s enduring legacy! We look forward to building her legacy with you into the next 50 years of the Jeannette Rankin Foundation.

Please reply with any questions you may have about the Rankin Foundation or if you’d like us to contact you to discuss ways to become more involved, support Rankin Scholars and help carry Jeannette’s legacy forward.

With gratitude,

Karen Sterk, CEO, and the Jeannette Rankin Foundation team and host committee: Betsy Bach, Demetra Lambros, Kate Shanley, Kathy Veazey, Mary Engstrom, Suzanne Peterson, Sen. Andrea Olsen, Jackie Slovak, Geneva Liimatta and Lori Warden

    I wasn’t aware of the effort until I received an invitation to last night’s event in Missoula. Wonderful to see over 250 people supporting the program.
