Special thanks to the McDonalds at I-30 and Jim Miller for their support!
THANK YOU to the Far East Dallas community of the Ferguson Road Initiative. We are thrilled that our preliminary results show that we exceeded our $16,000 goal to be matched! We are still working to put the numbers together and will publish the details in October. We had 139 donors give gifts totaling $16,524. This sum, combined with our Challenge/Match Grant, secured $33,009 for our organization.
