The Jumper Creek Ranch Family Foundation, established in 2023, is dedicated to empowering the next generation of agricultural leaders. Through its scholarship program, the Foundation supports students who demonstrate outstanding commitment to agriculture, academic achievement, and leadership potential—helping cultivate a future where innovation and sustainability continue to strengthen this essential industry.

The Foundation’s inaugural scholarships honor two remarkable individuals whose lives embodied service and impact. The Ann R. Fields Scholarship commemorates Ann R. Fields (1916–2004), Sumter County’s first county health nurse, whose legacy of compassion and community care set a lasting standard. The Donald A. George Scholarship recognizes Donald A. George, a former 4-H leader and Sumter County Agricultural Agent in the 1960s, whose lifelong dedication to agricultural education continues to inspire. Now residing near Jumper Creek Ranch, his connection to the land reflects the very spirit these scholarships aim to nurture.

Together, these scholarships carry forward a powerful legacy—supporting students who will lead, innovate, and sustain the future of agriculture for generations to come.
