Eleven thousand dollars has been injected into the Community Foundation of Portage and District. 

Three donations were made this week. 

 

Among the donors was Dave Falk who added another ten thousand dollars into the David and Sandra Falk Family Fund.  He says it'll help create a legacy. 

 

Glenn Arnott contributed five hundred dollars for the Sports and Recreation Fund.  Because his senior ball club was previously supported by the community foundation, he wanted to return a favour. 

 

The other five hundred dollars went to the Prosvita Men's Club of Portage in memory of Steve Balanyk.  After receiving the donations, foundation president Ernie Shwaluk described the state of philanthropy in Portage as wealthy. 

 

The donations come in time for National Philanthropy Day.
