“We hope to continue to remember the legacy Mr. Johnson left behind for our school corporation through a scholarship in his memory,” said Ag Teacher Seth Purlee. “Thanks to the generous donations of patrons the last five years, this soup dinner benefit has raised over $7770 for the Randy Johnson Memorial Scholarship fund.”
For the last two years, the Washington County Community Foundation and Lilly Endowment Fund donated 50 cents for every dollar raised at the dinner which has added around $1470.
This raised the total amount donation amount to over $9240.
