Meet Don

Donald "Don" Rupp was a conventional machinist and vested IAM union member for 49 years. He loved his craft so much that he spent countless hours teaching his daughter and kids from around the neighborhood about the world of machining, car/motorcycle maintenance, and construction. 
 

Coming from an economically disadvantaged background, Don emphasized to the kids in his neighborhood that the trades were a way to own a home and lift up their families. Don is remembered by friends and family for his kind heart, enthusiasm for life, and passion for his craft. 
 

The Don Rupp Craft Scholarship supports Palmer Scholars who choose to pursue a career in the trades.

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
