Here is a list of Thank You's and raffle winners from the July 25th event.
The Stanley-Boyd Alumni Association (SBAA) held its 14th Annual Alumni Fundraiser on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at the Community Center at Chapman Park. The event brought together alumni, friends, and community supporters for an afternoon of fellowship, reminiscing, and fundraising in support of the Association's mission of raising scholarship funds for Stanley-Boyd High School graduates.
Since 2014, the SBAA has helped provide scholarships to 29 Stanley-Boyd graduates, with individual awards ranging from $300 to $1,500. Through the generosity of alumni, local businesses, and community members, the Association continues its commitment to helping graduates pursue their educational and career goals.
One of the afternoon's highlights was a letter from Addison Mahr, a 2025 SBAA scholarship recipient. In her letter, Addison expressed her sincere appreciation for the scholarship and shared how it helped support her successful first year at UW–Stout Polytechnic, where she is pursuing studies in Interior Design. Her message was a meaningful reminder of the positive impact the Association has on local students.
The Class of 1966 was recognized throughout the event. A representative from the class offered the invocation, and classmates shared photographs and memorabilia highlighting their 1966 graduation year. Their display gave attendees an opportunity to reflect on Stanley-Boyd's history while reconnecting with classmates and friends.
Guests enjoyed appetizers, refreshments, and an afternoon of visiting before the announcement of the winners of the 50/50 raffle, bucket raffles, and main raffle. As always, 100% of the proceeds from raffle ticket sales will be used to support scholarships for graduating Stanley-Boyd High School seniors.
The SBAA Board extends its heartfelt appreciation to everyone who attended the event, purchased raffle tickets, made donations, contributed raffle prizes, volunteered their time, or helped spread the word. The Association is especially grateful to the many businesses, individuals, and SBAA Board members whose generosity made this year's fundraiser a success.

As the Association looks toward the future, it welcomes alumni who are interested in becoming involved. The SBAA Board of Directors meets just four times each year, and board members may live either in or outside the Stanley-Boyd area. New volunteers and fresh ideas are always welcome as the Association works to strengthen its scholarship program and preserve connections among Stanley-Boyd alumni.
The Stanley-Boyd Alumni Association sincerely thanks everyone whose support makes these scholarships possible. Together, alumni, friends, businesses, and community members are making a lasting difference in the lives of Stanley-Boyd graduates. We look forward to seeing everyone at next year's SBAA's Fundraiser event!
