The Turner Valley Western Financial office held their Walk for the Cause on June 10th, participating in a 5km walk to raise scholarship money for Oilfields High School Graduates. This year’s recipient was Colton Short.
By obtaining sponsorship from insurance companies, money raised by Western Financial staff is contributed to the company's charitable organization, the Western Communities Foundation. “I'm very proud of the staff and we all really like to support that bursary,” says James Hall, the Turner Valley Branch Manager. “The $500 Exceptional Achievement Citation and Bursary Award is presented to students who display exceptional spirit, improvement or determination.”



Colton's teachers certainly believe that he exceeds the criteria, saying, “Colton faced challenges in his academic career which he overcame with self discipline and a commitment to a self imposed standard of excellence. He was also an inspiration to the school athletic community.”

Colton is currently taking business administration at Olds College and performing well academically. Congratulations Cole! We're wishing you all the best.
