Ray Joseph Huchtinson Foundation
This foundation started by the parents of Ray Joseph Hutchinson, after they lost there son, is unique, not only in the reason it has been created, but also in the work that it will accomplish as it sends young men and women to universities across this great country, when they receive a scholarship from the Ray Joseph Hutchinson Foundation. We have awarded more than $40,000 in scholarships thus far, ranging from $750 to $3000 each.
Ann Hacker of Black Rose Steel said,” Ray Joseph got the call to serve his country and freedom. His personality, His person, His smile, shines through it all to be an inspiring role model for all young people of this Community. He would enjoy our efforts, in his memory, to help other young people achieve their goals. This is a small town, local effort. There may be many others nationwide, but this is our loss and as a community we honor his Memory the way he would want it....With God smiling upon His child sacrificing his life. Let this be a Community effort to guide our young people into honorable lives, whatever their goals may be. This Foundation is our commitment to Honor a Hero and benefit CCISD area students."
