The Sutherlin Throwdown Scholarship exists to support individuals pursuing a career in the trades. We understand that these careers are valuable and they provide essential services for which there will always be a need. We value individuals who have shown a strong work ethic and determination to fulfill their goals. This scholarship will assist the recipient(s) on their career path by providing financial assistance toward technical schooling, trade school, or apprenticeship programs.

The proceeds from the Sutherlin Throwdown benefit our ‘Made for Trades’ scholarship fund. The intention is to develop relationships with local businesses, schools and create job fairs in Douglas County to provide opportunities for students considering careers in the trades. 

After our first year we are proud to of given out $20,000 in scholarships to 14 Douglas County individuals that are pursuing a career related to the trades industry.
