Kasey Jo Walker Werner Scholarship

In August 2008, Feeders and Friends brought several hundred supporters together in an arena at the fairgrounds in New Raymer and held a day-long event to raise scholarship dollars in memory of Kasey Jo Walker Werner.  The Feeders and Friends raised $51,000 during the day-long event which included a barbeque, dance, ranch rodeo, calcutta and auction.

Kasey was killed in October 2007 during a tragic pedestrian car accident near her home in Arapahoe, Nebraska.  At age 28, she was a young wife and the mother of two small girls.  

Many times Kasey had competed in the same arena during the Northeast Weld County Fair and Rodeo.  She was active in 4-H and FFA over the years, even serving as a Colorado FFA State Officer the year after she graduated from Prairie High School.  

Deb, Kasey's mother worked at NJC for many years and has known many students who have attended NJC over the years.

This scholarship aims to support students in both the Agriculture Department and the Science Department.
