Flathead 4-H Foundation

Families and Communities grow together through 4-H! 🍀 Congratulations Chance Evenson this well deserved acknowledgement! You make our Flathead 4-H family proud! 🙌🍀🤩

Inspired by a dedicated 4‑H mentor who invested his time and heart in young people, Chance Evenson learned early what it means to give back. Today, Chance continues that legacy — volunteering with 4‑H for nearly two decades, plus coaching youth softball and wrestling in Montana’s Flathead Valley.

“Chance embodies the spirit of volunteerism,” says one of his five nominators. “He has a rare ability to meet kids where they are, inspire them to push beyond their limits, and help them believe in themselves.”

For his dedication to building youth confidence, resilience and community, Chance was named one of our 2025 Volunteers of the Year.

We were honored to be awarded a grant last spring from Flathead Electric Co-op's Round-up for Safety toward electrical upgrades in our cabins!

Roundup for Safety is a community life safety program sponsored by the Co-op and voluntarily funded by members who “round up” their monthly electric bill to the nearest dollar. The extra money provides grant funds for locally based nonprofit safety projects. Since 1997, the Roundup for Safety program has awarded more than $5M in support of over 1,400 community safety projects.

With the generous funds, we were able to add new wired smoke and carbon monoxide combo detectors, which are an important safety device to pair with the installation of the new wall heaters in the cabins.

Thank you Electric Cooperative, Inc. for helping us make the best better at our Loon Lake 4-H Camp! 🍀
