JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A small donation from a young Jamestown boy has sparked a large outpouring of support from other children and the community.
Liam, a 4 year-old in the OnTRAC Learning Center, made a small donation form his personal piggy bank to support the fundraising efforts for the Two Rivers Activity Center (TRAC) Splash Park.
TRAC Facilities Manager Amy Walters says young Liam’s donation has now sparked the “Splash Makers Club”.
Walters added that any youth that donates will become a Splash Maker and will receive a t-shirt showing their support, and a small surprise when they make their donation.
