2025 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Western Colorado University’s Foundation, marking five decades of profound impact on student’s lives through transformative gifts.

As part of this milestone, we will also honor the Mohab Foundation, a group with deep roots dating back to 1974-75.

Over the past 31 years, the Mohab Foundation has awarded more than $197,225 in scholarships to students who exemplify self-reliance and a passion for the unique outdoor experiences of the Gunnison Valley.

Together, we will celebrate education’s lasting impact and the collective effort to support students’ dreams and futures.
