HUNT CHALLENGE UPDATE

HTC Communities Excel at Building Endowments—The Hunt family (owners of Great Plains Communications) has made $50,000 challenge grants to six of the communities their company serves. The purpose is to build an endowment to support HTC type activities (supporting youth, leadership, entrepreneurship and philanthropic giving). The terms of the challenges are a three to one match and a series of six benchmark goals.

· Imperial has cleared the sixth benchmark, raising $150,000, which the Hunt family matched with $50,000 for a total of $200,000 for their endowment, just 16 months into the fundraising campaign.

· Creighton has cleared the second benchmark, raising a total of $120,000 including the Hunt challenge grant.

· Wausa has cleared the second benchmark, raising a grand total of $132,000.

· Perkins County has cleared the first benchmark, raising a grand total of $100,000.

Congratulations to these HTC communities for their philanthropic success!
