The John Gray Challenge
We did it! What an incredible feeling!
On June 30th and July 1 we recieved donations and pledges from 50 people totaling $10,806. That was enough to put us over the top and complete the John Gray $250,000 challenge match! Yes! We have three sets of approvals to get through this summer and if all goes well we can begin construction on two environmentally-friendly artist's residences starting in September.
As of July 1.
The total cost for this project is $690,000 so there is still an opportunity to contribute.
