Each year the family awards a $1,000 scholarship to an area student(s). Recipients of the scholarship must be in a medical field of study who are also from the 4-state area. The scholarship was established through the CRMC Foundation by the family of Jerry and Norma Best, in memory of their father and in honor of their mother.

The veterans roundup is a way for veterans in the area to sign up for or check on their benefits through the VA.    Many times there may be one form that was not filled out correctly, and so they are denied without an explanation stating that the only reason they were denied was because of that.  So our veterans have been walking other veterans through the process and helping them with whatever they have to do to get their paperwork submitted to the VA correctly. 

The whole goal of the day is to get the process started for veterans who have never applied before and to help follow up with those who have been denied in the past that maybe there is just a technicality behind their denial.  There will be 3 mobile units from the Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs there each day, which means there will be 6 representatives helping process veterans.
