Talking Mining at the Alaska Trucking Association’s Annual Meeting
Coeur Alaska Gives $20,000 to New Endowment Fund for Juneau Students
RUNNING ALASKA’S REMOTE CAMPS SINCE 1974
The Juneau Community Foundation is pleased to announce that Coeur Alaska, owner and operator of the Kensington Mine, together with its employees, contributed $20,000 to support the new Coeur Alaska Kensington Mine Juneau Schools Endowment. Created in late 2024 by Coeur Alaska, the endowment provides a sustainable funding source to support extracurricular activities for Juneau’s K-12 students. A member of the Juneau community since 1987, Coeur Alaska has been a steadfast supporter of educational and youth activities in Southeast Alaska. The new endowment fund allows Coeur Alaska to continue its financial support for Juneau’s students, even beyond its life of mine. Proceeds from the fund go directly to the Juneau School District. The contribution was the result of a silent auction fundraiser for Coeur Alaska employees. Auction items were generously donated by Coeur Alaska, its employees, and contractor partners — and bid on by Coeur Alaska employees. Employee- donated items showcased the skills and talents of Coeur Alaska employees and included several custom woodworking pieces, handmade beaded earrings, a custom metal wall sign, a high-end fly rod, and more. “Coeur Alaska, its employees, and our community business partners all care deeply about supporting Juneau’s next generation,” said Steve Ball, General Manager of the Kensington Mine. “This contribution will help grow our new endowment, supporting Juneau’s K-12 students today and for many years to come.” The Juneau Community Foundation would like to extend a special thanks to Coeur Alaska, its employees, and the following companies for supporting this donation: AGGPRO, Alaska Aggregate Products, Alaska Seaplanes, Alaska Marine Lines, Coastal Helicopters, Dawson Construction, Goldbelt, Inc., Jennmar, Northwest Mine Supply, Sandvik, Thyssen Mining, Inc., and Timberline Drilling. “We applaud Coeur Alaska for continuing to build this wonderful endowed fund that provides support for student activities today and will continue to do so tomorrow,” said Amy Skilbred, Executive Director, of Juneau Community Foundation.
