COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT GIFT

The Community Foundation receives bequest of over $3 Million from the estate of Dr. David and Mrs. Shirley Hughes.

“David and Shirley were passionate about encouraging youth leadership,” said Community Foundation Executive Director, Charleen Davidson. “They also wanted to introduce youth to philanthropy, believing that if youth benefit while they are young, they will be more inclined to give back themselves when they are in a position to do so in the future.”
