Keegel/Yates Education and Scholarship Fund

Contributions to the Keegel Yates Teamsters Joint Council 32 Education Fund come from Local Unions, members, and special endowments.  The Fund is named in honor of retired IBT General Secretary-Treasurer and Joint Council 32 President C. Thomas Keegel and deceased Joint Council 32 President Harold J. Yates.  Each of these men's dedication to children and education and their generosity helped sustain the scholarship program. Teamsters Joint Council 32 believes that the Labor movement in America lies in the hands of our children, and we believe that education is the key to their future.
