The Christine M. Loeber Foundation is proud to support the next generation of leaders through education and community service. Each year, we award the Christine M. Loeber Oliver Ames High School Scholarship to a student who exemplifies academic excellence, kindness, and a commitment to helping others.

In recent years, we expanded this effort to include the Christine M. Loeber Smith Farm Volunteer Appreciation Scholarships, recognizing additional students for their dedication to service and giving back to their community.

We look forward to continuing this tradition and celebrating this year’s deserving recipients.

We’re excited to once again join the seniors from Oliver Ames High School at Smith Farm on May 1st. Each year, OA seniors dedicate a day to community service in memory of Devin Ness, a remarkable young man who passed away suddenly in January 2013. Devin was known for his kindness and willingness to help anyone in need, and it's in his spirit that these students give back to their community. This year, we will be helping with yard cleanup, mulching our gardens, and preparing the farm for spring.

On March 9, we quietly pause to remember Christine Loeber and the love she shared so freely. Eight years ago, our world changed in ways we could never have imagined. On that day, we also lost Dr. Jen Golick and Dr. Jennifer Gonzales Shushereba - three remarkable women whose lives touched so many.

Today, we hold each of them in our hearts.

Christine’s kindness, warmth, and compassion continue to guide the work of the Foundation. Through every scholarship awarded, every organization supported, and every act of generosity inspired by her story, her light lives on.

March 9 is not only a day of remembrance, but a quiet reminder of how deeply love endures. We honor Christine, Dr. Golick, and Dr. Gonzales Shushereba by carrying forward the values they embodied — care, dedication, and compassion for others.

We remember them gently. We hold them closely. And we continue.

We can’t wait to see you!

Join us for our Fall Fellowship Event, a special afternoon to celebrate Christine and her Foundation. No entrance fee; complimentary bar food. Come out for some Shovel Town beer, raffles (50/50 plus a range of themed gift baskets), and, most of all, good conversation and laughs with people who loved Christine!

This day is always a heartfelt celebration of service and resilience, reinforcing our commitment to supporting veterans through healing and community. The Christine M Loeber Foundation is proud to sponsor this amazing day.

Join us for this amazing event with food and drinks with tent seating, music by Lonnie Decker, crafts and more.
