About
The Eau Claire High School Class of 1989, Inc. was founded in 2009 at our 20th class reunion. We discussed how we could make a difference in the lives of our Shamrock students the way the Eau Claire community, teachers, and staff made a difference in our lives.
We begin the brainstorming process about how to give back to a community, which had given so much to us. Over the years, we have shared our vision, developed our vision, and then put the vision into action. In 2017, we became the non-profit organization that would focus on three pillars.
Scholarship: Providing scholarships to a graduating senior who plans to attend a college or university.
Mentorship: Providing career and educational advice to students.
Partnership: Collaboration with community organizations and businesses who are willing to provide resources to the students attending Eau Claire High School.
Our Motto: Reaching back, pulling forward, and making a difference through Scholarship, Mentorship and Partnership.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.
