Craig & Lisa Hansen/Hansen's Insurance Scholarship

Craig and Lisa Hansen support a strong local workforce where individuals and families earn a good living as skilled mechanics, carpenters, and truck drivers or other "blue collar" trades. The fund provides scholarships to eligible graduating seniors from McKinleyville, Arcata, Eureka, Fortuna, Ferndale or St. Bernard's high schools to pursue "blue collar" skills through trade or vocational courses at a two-year college or university. One or more sports scholarships will also be awarded as the Scott Eskra Sports Scholarship to graduating seniors at Eureka and/or Fortuna high schools for baseball or softball. Scott, who passed away at age 42, was known by locals as a great friend and avid baseball player. From T-Ball through Little League and college, his dream was to play for the Humboldt Crabs. He did, hitting a homerun his first time at bat. In 2015, Scott was inducted into the Humboldt Crabs Hall of Fame. (2018)
