Major Donations Announced

SJRF would like to announce that it has obtained three major donations towards the construction of the community building.  The first donation is for $1 million and is from the Ralph Foundation.  The Ralph Foundation refers to Ralph Woodard – a long time developer from the St. Joseph area.  His family operates the Foundation and is making this donation as a way of giving back to the St. Joseph Community.  The second donation is from the Hitt Family.  SJRF Board member Todd Hitt and his family have donated $50,000 towards the community building as well.  Besides these two donations, the Village of St. Joseph has set aside over $300,000 towards this project as well as providing the land where the building will be located.  The feasibility study indicates that the cost of construction could be north of $3 million.  As a result of these dedicated funds, SJRF is 36% of the way towards our goal in order to start construction!
