Hundreds of lives have been touched by the vision of a group of mountain community leaders and volunteersto increase the local college

attendance of mountain

communities residents. With

single-minded purpose, they

assembled an enthusiastic band

of about three dozen influential

mountain residents to take

charge of fundraising for student

scholarships to attend Cal State

San Bernardino, generating

tremendous results.

Since 2003, Neale and Patricia

Perkins, along with the energetic

volunteers, have raised funds by

holding elegant, invitation-only

events at their Lake Arrowhead

home. More than 100 students

have benefitted, as have their

communities, through the

CSUSB graduates who return

home to start careers.

Neale Perkins’ longstanding

leadership has served to bring

the university closer to the

mountain communities.

We invite you to join us

in helping to grow the

opportunities for our local

students.
