“As a 2000 graduate of Rustburg High School, I was one of the first dual-enrollment students. Working with guidance counselors, I opted to pursue heating and air, attracted to the idea that I’d spend some time outside, with each job posing different physical and mental challenges. The heating/air work kept me engaged — then, now, and all the years between. I’m a huge fan of the dual-enrollment track that CCEF helps fund. These workers are critical for businesses like mine, for our local economy and our country.”
– Brandon Brown, Owner of Browns Heating Air & Plumbing
“I am a big believer in giving back. That’s why I support Campbell County Educational Foundation and its work helping high school students get on track for trade school, college, or the military.
As a former foundation board member, I especially applaud its work in encouraging students to pursue the trades where opportunities abound to earn a good living and secure a solid future. The ultimate hope is that these students and others will give back and perpetuate a positive cycle for generations to come.”
– Kenny Kirby, President of Rustburg High School Athletic Booster Club
“Our company, Sonny Merryman, and my family, through the Merryman Charitable Trust, have been longtime financial supporters of the CCEF and their outstanding programs. Public education and workforce development are vital components to a strong Central Virginia business community and the economy at large. CCEF is on the frontlines of both.”
– Pat Merryman, Vice-Chair of Sonny Merryman Board Chair, Merryman Charitable Trust
“My department and I recognize the critical importance of the program in encouraging students to pursue the trades and specialize in areas such as paramedicine. Unfortunately, the dual-enrollment program wasn’t in place when I graduated from Brookville High School in 1992, which would have provided me a leg up in my career, but I am glad the program is now thriving.”
– Jonathan Wright, Interim Chief of Administrative Services Lynchburg Fire Department
