Generous community
I have lived in Mesquite for five years and I am continuously amazed by the generosity of this community. As the Treasurer of the Kids for Sports Foundation I have been very involved in the fund raising events and my expectations have always been exceeded; the community has been very generous with their donations and participation.
Last January Ken Garff Ford donated $5,000 to the KFS golf tournament – that donation was instrumental in the success of the golf tournament. Just this last week the Kids for Sports Foundation received a check for $1,000 from The Exchange Club of Mesquite Foundation. WOW, what an amazing donation! In the last year KFS has awarded 123 grants totaling $16,043 to the youth of our community.
Those grants have covered registration fees, uniforms, shoes, medical insurance, football camp, soccer camp and gymnastics to name a few. All of this is possible because of the generosity of this community.
Thank you Mesquite!
