LOS ANGELES, CA — Teamsters local unions from across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico recently gathered in Los Angeles to raise over $3 million for the Teamsters Scholarship Fund.
“Because of your generosity, we’re already helping hundreds of students pay their way through school and reach their full potential,” said International Brotherhood of Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien.
Since launching in 2023, the fund has now surpassed $11 million, assisting hundreds of Teamsters families in affording higher education.
“We’re well on our way to helping thousands more. This year, we’ve taken another huge step toward making the Teamsters Scholarship Fund bigger and better for decades to come,” O’Brien added.
The event also featured the announcement of a $500,000 donation to the Joint Council 42 Wildfire Fund, which will support those impacted by the devastating wildfires in California.
In addition to this remarkable fundraising effort, O’Brien reminded members that applications for the Teamsters Scholarship Fund are still open, to apply, visit the link here.
