We are so grateful for our volunteers, donors and supporters. Most importantly, we give thanks for our wonderful Harpers Ferry-Bolivar community. This year has been nothing short of momentous thanks to everyone’s efforts, and we are incredibly excited about our future.

Yes, Thanksgiving is primarily about gratitude, but this holiday would not be the same without some football! To that end, please enjoy this picture from 1920 of the Golden Tornados, Storer College’s football team from 1899-1955. Mary Harris, Class of 1950, recalled, “We didn’t win very often, but when we did, you would have thought we had just won the Super Bowl!”

Have a happy and safe holiday season, everyone!
