Cassville Puts the “Fun” in Fundraising
A large group of Cassville students, staff and teachers accepted the Cooper Phase II challenge grant from CFO staff member Winter Skelton (center).
Community-building does not have to be a dry business, and no one knows that better than the Cassville Community Foundation. Highlights of the last year for the CCF have included community trivia nights, a golf tournament, and the planning of a fall “poker run” which combined the love of cycles and cards to raise money for the Cassville Education Fund.
The CCF also made a number of grants during the year, including $2,000 to the Cassville R-IV District and $1,000 to the P.A.C.E. Drug Court Treatment Program. In all, the CCF made more than $5,000 in grants to the Cassville community.
Another major community achievement came during the Cooper Challenge Phase II in early 2011. The Community Foundation of the Ozarks awarded $11,800 to the Cassville School District Educational Endowment Fund for successfully completing the Harry Cooper Supply Company Campaign for the Ozarks to build long-term education funding through philanthropy.
Cassville raised $23,218 to receive the matching funds through the Cooper Phase II Challenge. The total of $35,018 is designated for the educational endowment.
