Dear Donors,
Two
words...Butler Bulldogs! Wow, can you believe
it? It's amazing!
Many people
nationally think it's a true Cinderella story or
that the Bulldogs are underdogs because Butler is a
small school of about 4,000.
But, people who
think that are forgetting that BIG things don't just happen in BIG
schools or even in BIG cities. Big things happen when people
have BIG hearts. And, there is no question that the Butler
Bulldogs have a lot of heart.
We see this all
of the time at the Community Foundation of Grant County, too.
We don't have the BIGGEST schools and we are not the BIGGEST city in
Indiana, but our donors show us frequently that they have the BIGGEST
hearts.
We're in the
midst of preparing our Annual Report for you all to see. Soon
you'll see how thousands have benefitted from the BIG generosity of
this community as tens of thousands of dollars have been
donated.
It's truly
humbling to see and be a part of. But, Grant County is no Cinderella
story and certainly no underdog. Just like Butler, Grant County
has a lot of heart.
Peace and
Blessings to you all this beautiful sunny Monday,
Dawn Brown, CFRM
