Happy Birthday Dr. Al McCully! Today, we were honored to celebrate Dr. McCully’s legacy with the Frueauff Family who drove from Arkansas to Tallahassee just to honor him. David Frueauff, Anna Kay Frueauff, and Anna Kay’s son, Walker, along with Dr. McCully’s family, came to celebrate his remarkable impact and enduring legacy of compassion and service, by dedicating a room at Big Bend Hospice’s First Commerce Center for Compassionate Care - a gift made possible through the generosity of the Charles A. Frueauff Foundation.

For 35 years, the Frueauff family and their Foundation have provided over $2.1 million in support of Big Bend Hospice Foundation through their extraordinary generosity and commitment to our mission. We are incredibly grateful for the partnership, difference, and impact they continue to make in the lives of our patients and families.

Dr. McCully, one of Tallahassee’s first urologists, was instrumental, with his wife, Jean, in starting Big Bend Hospice and remained involved throughout their lives, as have their children. The room the Frueauff Foundation dedicated (Room 6) is a specialized negative pressure room designed to care for some of our most vulnerable patients; ensuring compassionate hospice care for individuals, while allowing Big Bend Hospice to continue serving every patient in need.

“Today was a beautiful reminder that compassion, generosity, and service create legacies that live on for generations. Big Bend Hospice Foundation is honored that the Frueauff and McCully Families play a part of this lifetime of memories and kindness,” said Dena Strickland Hendrix, Big Bend Hospice Foundation President.

As the longest government shutdown comes to an end, food banks remain under crushing demand. New data analysis shows most rely on contributions from individuals, not foundations, to keep shelves stocked.

Goodwill Industries of Arkansas is excited to announce that we have been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Charles A. Frueauff Foundation. This funding will allow Goodwill to enhance our Transitional Employment Opportunity (TEO) program in Jonesboro and Paragould.

Goodwill’s TEO program assists individuals with a history of criminal convictions and incarceration as they transition back to the community. TEO is for clients who are willing to commit to an intensive 16-week paid job training program. Clients gain marketable skills and develop positive work behaviors to prepare for competitive employment. Goodwill’s mission is “Changing Lives Through Education, Training and Employment”. This funding will help us carry out that mission in Northeast Arkansas.
