The Homer Foundation recently held a celebration of community philanthropy for our donors and volunteers. I would like to extend a special thanks to the Pratt Museum for making their wonderful facility available to us for this event and providing our guests with behind the scenes tours and an update on their capital campaign. Our friend Mel Strydom at the Grog Shop provided the evening’s libations- thank you Mel. The event culminated with a fun drawing that allowed participants to nominate their favorite Homer nonprofit for a small grant from the Homer Foundation. When the names were drawn that individual popped a balloon to find out the dollar amount of the grant to be awarded to their nonprofit. It was great fun and the results are as follows:
David Schneider/KBBI, $50
Claudia Haines/Kachemak Kids Early Learning Center, $50
Lucy Cutting/Pratt Museum, $100
Turid Senungetuk/Bunnell Street Arts Center, $100
Lisa Whip/Homer Youth String Orchestra Club, $200
Philanthropy, hard to say, fun to do!
