We are thrilled to announce the shell of our new indoor arena is up! We are hoping to get some footing in and use it asap!
This has been a monumental goal for our entire team. We know that an arena to work in can allow for more options for session experiences as well as having sessions during Indiana’s ever changing weather.
Perhaps you know that John and Patty O’Donnell saw the kids’ need for an arena last year. They understood that an indoor arena was a game changer for the ministry opportunities.
So they offered us a matching grant for an unbelievable $100,000!
We were shocked and excited! We set about to figure out how to match this grant. To our utter delight, the matching grant for the indoor arena was funded by the William S. and Susannah B. Hough Youth fund, a fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County, Inc.
How can we say thank you?!?!
The community support has been overwhelming.
In addition to the O'Donnell/Community Foundation Matching Grant, NGHR has received discounts from Wagler Metals and Thermodyne.
NGHR has also received in-kind donations from Paul Miller Pole Buildings, Foster Construction, Blazer Farms, Maple Farms, and MAWR Designs.
We also received additional financial donations from the Beck's Foundation and National Christian Foundation IN.
We have raised money through fundraisers including: the Derby Ball, Marie's Car Wash, Indiana Adoption Agency "MATCH" event, Turn About Resource Center’s Circus/Carnival, and our Walkway of Faith Brick Fundraiser.
We now only owe $99,404 from a budgeted $662,041 capital campaign project!
Thank you, Community!
We are thankful to God and our generous community which demonstrates care for those who are marginalized around us.
