College Scholarships
Wine Country to the Rescue is a charity auction and dinner dance benefiting the firefighters and the communities of Geyserville, Healdsburg, Cloverdale, and Knights/Franz Valleys. One way to support these communities is by providing resources for our next generation of first responders. If you live or attend school in one of these communities, you are eligible to apply for this scholarship. Scholarships will range between $1000 and $2500 depending on how many qualified applications we receive. A maximum of 10 scholarships will be awarded.
