Donations to Challenge reach total of $117,495
The final response to the challenge issued by Chuck and Joey Lester has reached $117,495, of which Islanders and friends donated $67,495.
The beneficiary Anna Maria Island Community Center calculated the total from 183 donors at $67,495, to which the Lesters of Anna Maria added $50,000.
They had offered to match all donations up to $50,000 for the Center’s building fund, depleted by costs of construction of a new facility at its longtime site, 407 Magnolia Ave., Anna Maria. |
