On June 11, the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation distributed this year’s grants at a luncheon.  A total of $141,965 was given out in Community Fund and Designated fund grants. Community Fund grants totalling $56,661 were given to 14 area organizations. 

The day also marked the first donation to the Foundation’s new Corporate Challenge. HyLife Foods opened the challenge with a commitment to donate $10,000 a year for 10 years, for a total of $100,000.

The donation was presented by HyLife’s Vice President - Domestic Sales, Trevor Lizotte and Senior Vice President and General Manager Guy Beaudry. 

The Foundation is working to raise $50,000 by September 24, 2016 to complete a challenge by the Thomas Sill Foundation.  If successful, the Thomas Sill Foundation will contribute $25,000 to the BPCF Community Endowment Fund.
