ACE Foundation Match Day

 ACE Foundation to host Match Day event Dec. 15

The ACE Foundation will host its annual Match Day event on Monday, Dec. 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Shirley Opera House. Community members are invited to stop by throughout the day to visit with board members, meet Executive Director Jo Argabright, enjoy refreshments, and make a contribution to the Rawlins County Future Fund during this important month of giving. 

December is Match Month for the ACE Foundation, meaning every local donation made during the month is tripled thanks to generous dollar-for-dollar matches from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and the Patterson Family Foundation. The community fundraising goal is to raise $100,000 locally, which will grow into $300,000 invested back into Rawlins County. All Match Month donations support the Rawlins County Future Fund, an endowed fund dedicated to strengthening the long-term vitality of the com munity. These dollars help the ACE Foundation fulfill its mission of supporting programs, projects, and opportunities that enhance the quality of life for residents and ensure a vibrant future for generations to come. 

“Our community shows time and again how much they care about the future of Rawlins County,”
