What the Kehr Fund Will Support — Starting in 2026

Effective 2026, the Jerry & Yvonne Kehr Education Fund will focus on expanding access to youth sports, the arts, and music for young people across Plumas County. In our rural communities, these opportunities are often hard to come by — and the Kehr Fund wants to help change that.
