4 WAYS TO AT THE SUMMIT
Help Us Support The CIOMA Memorial Scholarship Fund
Each year at the CFCA Summit, we raise funds in support of the CIOMA Memorial Scholarship Fund (CMSF). CMSF was established to help CFCA members, their children, and their employees pursue higher education and professional development opportunities.
At the CFCA Summit, attendees have several opportunities to support this important mission while enjoying some of the conference's most exciting activities. Every dollar raised through our Summit fundraising events directly benefits the scholarship fund and helps invest in the future leaders of our industry.

The Future of Our Industry Depends on Strong Future Leaders
Through the CIOMA Memorial Scholarship Fund, CFCA helps students, employees, and family members continue their education, develop their careers, and strengthen our industry for years to come.
When you participate in Summit fundraising activities, you're doing more than playing a game or placing a bid, you're helping create opportunities for the next generation.
