Waseca Area Foundation Update
Barbara Swenson Gauger
In 1988 the profits from the 1988 All-School Reunion were used to establish the Waseca Area Foundation. This $8000 has grown to $4,800,000 at this time, March of 2008. We in the foundation wish to thank Waseca alumni and would like to make all alumni aware of this awesome benefit to the Waseca Area Community.
The Waseca Area Foundation is an endowed foundation and dollars earned are all given back to the community in the form of grants supporting education, arts and social services. In 2007 $169,086 were granted to Waseca projects.
Some classes have established funds in their name to give back to the Waseca community in their name. We invite all alums to be aware of this opportunity to give back to the community that gave so much to them in their school years. Our goal is $10 million by 2018.
