A LOT TO CELEBRATE AS IT BEGINS ITS SECOND DECADE

SUBMITTED BY PAT GROGG

70 members of the Women to Women Giving Circle of the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation gathered at the Aaron Leetch Club of Hancock Stadium on June 22. The group applauded wildly when the total of gifts received through June 17 was announced at just over $88,000. Gifts made through the fiscal year ending June 30 will contribute to the grants made for 2023.

A special designation of Second Decade Donor is given to a member Melissa Breeden and Sharon Tarvin who makes a one-time gift of at least $1000. The Giving Circle now has 50 such donors. Retired Circuit Judge Beth Robb Sender chairs the Circle’s Steering Committee. New members Deborah Lindberg and Linda Kimber were welcomed.

This annual summer celebration allows members and friends to hear presentations explaining the impact of the $47,372. granted for 2022:

• Autism Collective and OSF Healthcare System and Easterseals • Children’s Discovery Museum and Children’s Home and Aid • Children’s Home and Aid and Chestnut Health • Community Health Care Clinic • Milestones Early Learning Center • YWCA of McLean County

Linda Herman, Allie Matters, and Leanna Bordner

The Steering Committee recently announced a new maximum of $20,000 for future grant proposals.
