This is the 15th year the WAEF has conducted the fundraising raffle which funds educational opportunities for children and families from Washington’s tree fruit growing communities.
In 2009 more than $350,000 in scholarships was awarded to exceptional college-bound students. An additional $28,000 was granted to school and community programs assisting farmworker families succeed scholastically. The annual raffle and silent auction held at the WSHA Annual Meeting is a primary fundraiser of the WAEF.

The Washington Apple Education Foundation was organized in 1994 by industry members to coordinate, promote and develop charitable activities reflecting the values of industry members. The foundation’s primary programs are scholarships and educational grants benefiting those raised in tree fruit districts.
