Section NewsOctober 5, 2021 - McCraren Memorial Scholarship Fund
On October 5, 2021 our community was stricken by tragedy. Sarah McCraren, our Treasurer, and her husband Michael were in a horrible car accident that took the life of Mike and left Sarah in critical condition. Friends, Family & the Community have been coming together in this great loss and continued prayers of healing towards Sarah's recovery. Many have asked how they may help, what they can do...Sarah has asked if anyone would like to make a donation that the funds go to the SME Tucson Chapter Scholarship Fundraiser on November 5th. They will be honoring students who have excelled in their pursuit of degrees in mining and related fields through the University of Arizona. Her request is not surprising by far, Mike and Sarah are truly givers to our community and compassionate support to those in need. If you would like to donate directly to the McCraren Scholarship Fund, please go to their GoFundMe page.
