Incoming donations into this endowment fund were matched $1 for $1 up to $50,000. The Decatur County communities, alumni and friends, stepped up to the challenge and exceeded their portion of the incoming contributions by more than double; raising approximately $115,000 prior to adding in the Hansen’s $50,000 match.
