The “Building for the Future” campaign had been driving to raise the
final $35,000 needed to meet its fundraising goal of $750,000 in recent
weeks, but overwhelming community support actually pushed that total to
just under $89,500.
That, in turn, boosted the overall campaign total to nearly $804,500.
