Garry & Maryn Hurlbut, your first Scholarship patrons for 2020 are thinking globally but acting locally to better Richmond during our Covid-19 crisis.

This year, the Snow Ball will be held virtually but your contributions to the scholarship fund are more important than ever. Please give what you can this year. We are in this together…

The Richmond Snow Ball in December has been an event established by the City of Richmond and held annually for the last 67years to honor outstanding high school students. It is currently sponsored by the Community Services Department. The Snow Ball is the only city collaboration which has combined all the high schools and charter schools from the West Contra Costa Unified School District to participate in this gala event under one roof. 

Qualified students with a minimum 3.5 GPA and outstanding civic contributions are interviewed by a select committee and chosen to represent their respective schools. All winners will compete for the overall winning king and queen title (and members of their court) on the evening of  the “super senior prom”- the Snow Ball. The king, queen and court are awarded crowns and cash scholarship awards at the Snow Ball event. 

Let’s show our support from the City of Richmond, by honoring these brilliant individuals. They need to know we care.

Last year, Garry & Maryn Hurlbut contributed $5000 for cash awards for the Snow Ball king and queen. This year we are agreeing to again contribute $5000 from the Hurlbut Trust to match funds that are contributed from other sources.
