Today we officially launched our fundraising campaign, the Cullen Pickens Memorial Field Camp Scholarship. Cullen was a proud graduate of Charles Page High School and Boone Pickens School of Geology, where he attended the Les Huston Geology Field Camp. Mr. Pickens inspired and continues to inspire so many of our past and present students, contributing to student success at the Les Huston Geology Field Camp. In order to continue to support students at Les Huston Geology Field Camp, we want to assist student attendees who may suffer financial hardship during the 5-week long course, given students often have to quit or take leave from their jobs, provide childcare, or arrange for help with their monthly expenses while at camp. All funds raised will go to continuing the Cullen Pickens Memorial Field Camp Scholarship, with our ultimate goal of turning it into an endowed fund. Students attending the Les Huston Geology Field Camp will receive financial support through the scholarship, therefore honoring Mr. Pickens' final wishes of students attending the camp.

Thank you for your generosity in supporting our students and honoring the life and legacy of Mr. Pickens. We truly appreciate your support helping us to achieve this important fundraising goal. Go Pokes!
