Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship& Training Fund

The mission of Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship Fund is to promote interest and excellence in the construction industry serving our community by providing start-up capital for tuition, training, books, tools, etc. enabling lifelong career opportunity in our communities.

The Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship Fund was created in 1997 after our founder, Fred Bachmann Sr., passed away. Each year an Annual Fundraising Event is held, and with the assistance, support, and participation of industry and community members, it has been a stunning success.

Each year, The Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship Fund, in partnership with volunteers from Bachmann Construction Company, Inc., holds its Annual Fundraising Outing. After the event, all of the proceeds are donated to the scholarship fund. In the last few years, because of the success of this event, we have been able to award multiple scholarships from the proceeds that were generated. We are hoping that you and/or your company would consider contributing to the success of our event by making a donation.

We are looking to spotlight silent auction business sponsors that raise funds towards the fundraising mission, generate interest in your business, and finding items and creative activities that appeal to the spectrum of health and wellness of attendees.

We are looking for items that can be auctioned off or items to be a part of our raffle and/or door prizes. Items to be donated that have been popular in the past are gift certificates (e.g.; dinner, stores, hotels/resorts, etc.), tickets to local sporting events, tools, hole sponsorship, etc. The generosity of all corporations, businesses, or private individuals will be recognized and displayed during the outing (unless otherwise requested).

With your help, we can help those who wish to carry on the tradition of quality construction and build into the future.
