MEET OUR DONORS
Ron was a teacher in Swift Current for 40 years and is still going strong. He and his wife Carole are passionate supporters of Great Plains College both financially and as community members.
“I was in education my whole life. Why wouldn’t I support it? I think it’s a great thing to have a community college. All of the trades programs, welding, electricity, safety and more is amazing to have and offer…there are many scholarships available for students graduating and going on to college and a lot of kids aren’t yet ready to be on their own right after high school so here they can transition easily and successfully.”
- Ron Toles, life-long educator, active community member and Great Plains College theatre instructor
Sharon and her husband value education and believe that it is important to give back. They are especially enthusiastic about helping students cover college tuition costs so they can give opportunities to those who may not otherwise have had the chance to pursue their dreams.
“My husband and I worked to provide opportunity for our family. I felt blessed to have a position at the college…I was able to assist students, hear their hopes and dreams and help them research. It was very exciting.”
- Sharon Fehr, life-long learner, wife, mom and retired Great Plains College program coordinator
