Listed below are the individuals, churches, men’s and women’s groups, and Sunday School classes who have given or pledged $1000 or more to the pool project. Some donors have given outright, some are making monthly or quarterly gifts. One church voted to give its entire Memorial Fund to the pool. Others are holding a series of fund-raising events and sending the proceeds each time. This list includes a gift from representatives of the FUSE Foundation, the group who uses our facility for a camp experience for adults who live with Muscular Dystrophy. The mission of our camp facility reaches beyond Disciples youth and adults! Our goal is more than 100 Pool Partners, and we want to add your name—or your group—to the list. Contact Steve Martin or any member of regional staff.
