Your local Whatcom County Cattlemen’s Association is proud to support and sponsor awards and scholarships for your children who participate in a beef project and our agricultural industry in general. Throughout the year WCCA spends over $35,000.00 annually in support of our youth. We are a small group with only about 12 active current members. The time and effort that goes into fundraising to be able to provide this support is significant. Our primary fundraiser is our annual dinner and auction, held the last Saturday in February.

Here is a breakdown of our expenses that we have provided our youth with.

College Scholarship Program 2024, 7x $1,000 $7,000.00 This scholarship is for students attending any continued education in the agriculture industry, from the Technical Collage, Community College and Universities. We have supported future diesel mechanics, electricians, agronomy, FFA teachers, veterinarians etc... All things agriculture!!
