FULTON – “We did it, Fulton! Once again, you came through to support the Fulton Block Builder (FBB) program,” said Linda Eagan, FBB Founder. “FBB has received the full $100,000 matching grant from the Richard S. Shineman Foundation.”
The Richard S. Shineman Foundation’s vision is to act as a “catalyst for change” to enhance the quality of life in Oswego County and Shineman’s Foundation Director Chena Tucker shared that the foundation’s board members are very encouraged by the increasing and unprecedented collaborations they see happening among groups like the Fulton Block Builders in our communities. “Fulton Block Builders has continued to exceed expectations for its very successful Healthy Neighborhoods revitalization program and our foundation is proud to continue its support of FBB by awarding another $125,000 for its Block Challenge program,” she said.
Multiple businesses stepped up recently to support the FBB program and take it over the $50,000 goal. Notably, Brookfield Renewables, $5,000; Foster Funeral Home, $1,500, Menter Ambulance, $1,650; N.E.T & Die, $1,000, Lakeside Roofing and Siding $500; Raymore and Flanigan, $500 and Fulton Noon Rotary $250.
