We’re thrilled to share that this year’s Great Fish Community Challenge was our most successful yet! Thanks to our incredible community, generous donors, and the match fund, we were able to raise an astounding $202,355.00! Meaning not only did we surpass our original goal, we also earned a spot in the “Million Dollar Club” with over $1 million raised since we began participating in the challenge in 2016. On top of that, we were honored with the "Connie Heckathorn Cheers for Volunteers" award presented by one of Whitefish Community Foundation’s founding members, Mike Jenson. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Whitefish Community Foundation, the Circle of Giving, and everyone who contributed to our success. Your support helps us provide safe housing and life-changing resources to homeless unaccompanied high school students in our community.
