The Douglas County Community Services Foundation (DCCSF) has created a fun and humorous fundraising program over the past three years to help provide funding for the Douglas County Senior Center. A naming rights sponsorship for the two family restrooms in the Senior Center has been initiated with signage prominently displaying a lucky recipient’s name over the bathroom doors. What better way to honor someone or some organization, than to have their name showcased for a year above these much-used doors.
DCCSF Chairman Bob Cook is the 2021 naming rights sponsor for the two-restroom signs. With his donation of $1000 he has chosen Brian Fitzgerald, representing the Carson Valley Arts Council and Dave Brady, owner of Brady & Associates and Treasurer of the DCCSF as the two 2021 recipients of this prestigious award.
