Recognizing the Impact of AFA Donors
We reached our goal! Thanks to the generous donations from individuals and businesses, and an anonymous donor who provided $5,000 in matching dollars, we exceeded our current goal. Because of these contributions, the AFA Scholarship Endowment Fund at the McPherson County Community Foundation has exceeded $50,000 and will help support our annual AFA Scholarship.
