2019 Volunteers of the Year – Alan and Claire Peterson

Alan and Claire Peterson, along with a group of dedicated family and friends, established the Mike Peterson Memorial Scholarship Fund, in memory of their son, Mike.  The primary fundraiser for the Scholarship Fund is an annual golf tournament. Proceeds from the tournament are used to purchase automotive, diesel and now automotive collision tool sets for upcoming program graduates. Through the Peterson’s efforts and those of the Tournament Board, the Scholarship Fund has raised over $160,000 for the purchase tools awarded to 82 students.
