BUCYRUS #Giving2sday again helped inspire generosity when it was celebrated by The Community Foundation for Crawford County on December 1st.
“We were very pleased with the outcome,” said Jennifer Stirm, Foundation Board member and chair of their Development Committee. “Donors like knowing that their gift inspired a second one, as our Board contributed $25,000, and The Mason Companies another $2,500, to distribute to our participating funds on a pro-rated basis. #Giving2sday was created as a day that encourages people to do good, and that’s just what Crawford County did for the Foundation!”
