What an incredible week for the Dragon Scholarship Fund!

Our 23rd Annual DSF Auction has officially wrapped, and we are thrilled to share that we unofficially raised $27,000.

That number is significant — it represents 27% of the total funds we must raise each year to provide scholarships to Johnston High School graduates continuing their education beyond high school.

To everyone who donated items, placed bids, shared posts, encouraged friends, volunteered their time, or simply supported us from afar — thank you. This truly is a community effort, and we could not do this without you.

This weekend as winners picked up their items, I had the privilege of visiting with so many of you. Hearing your stories — why you participate, why you give, why you believe in this mission — was one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve had in a long time.

It filled my heart to be reminded that this is about so much more than an auction. It’s about investing in students, celebrating generosity, and strengthening our Johnston community.

This volunteer role is one I cherish deeply — and days like today are exactly why.

Thank you for believing in the Dragon Scholarship Fund. Here’s to many more days like this. ❤️

Lynnette Hillabolt,
2026 Board President
