The PIA of Kansas City/Ray and Anna Campbell Scholarship
Established in 1985/1994
The Ray and Anna Campbell scholarship was first established in 1985 by the Printing Industries of America-Kansas City association Board of Directors.
They felt that the graphic arts industry was becoming more and more complex with every passing day. The type of “hands-on” learning that had been the basis for most of the old-timers’ experience just wasn’t enough. The founding members of the scholarship fund were: Burd & Fletcher, Co.; Lowell Press; Townsend Communications; Henry Wurst, Inc.; Commercial Lithographing; Spangler Printing; K B Litho Supply; Vile-Goller/Fine Arts; Chroma Graphics, Inc.; and the Printing Association of Kansas City.
Many other member companies followed the lead in subsequent years, making donations to build the fund. In October of 1994, it was decided to rename the fund to the PIA of Kansas City/Ray and Anna Campbell Scholarship.
Ray had assumed the duties of manager in 1970 and was actively involved with the Scholarship Fund Committee during its development. Anna had been drafted by Ray to come into the office to assist during an employee shortage. She also aided in the development of the scholarship fund while working closely with Ray on other association duties. Ray and Anna both retired in 1994. Priority is given to employees associated with the member companies of PIA MidAmerica.
