Community Foundation to Honor Philanthropist of the Year
Annual recognition event returns to Opera House on November 20
The McPherson County Community Foundation will celebrate its annual Philanthropist of the Year event on Thursday, Nov. 20 at the McPherson Opera House. The free community gathering, which begins at 6:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m., honors individuals and organizations that make significant contributions to McPherson County and its nonprofits. Light refreshments will be served throughout the evening.
Since its establishment in 2005 as the Volunteer of the Year award, the foundation has recognized 45 individuals and two organizations for their exceptional dedication to improving the community. Recipients receive a commemorative award and a monetary amount to donate to a local organization or project of their choice. "Our Philanthropists of the Year are often those who go above and beyond what's expected of them," said MCCF CEO Michelle Huddle. "These are individuals who see the challenges our towns face and step up to find solutions, often investing their own time and money. Their efforts deserve to be celebrated."
