Building Tomorrow DePauw receives $1,000 donation
GREENCASTLE --The Building Tomorrow DePauw University Chapter recently received a $1,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Greencastle.
The donation will be applied to the chapter's current $45,000 fundraising campaign to construct a Building Tomorrow Academy, slated to serve more than 300 students in rural Uganda.
"We are extremely grateful to the Rotary Club of Greencastle for the support they've provided us," said David Dietz, Building Tomorrow's DePauw chapter president. "We're really excited about the work we've been doing and the ability to include such awesome supporters has made it even better."
To date, the Building Tomorrow chapter at DePauw has raised more than $23,000 in support of a new academy. The chapter hopes to have its efforts completed by the end of the 2010-11 academic year.
