JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Foster Friess announced his School Safety Challenge where the local philanthropist pledged to match all donations up to $2.5 million.
USA Today ran a full story on the initiative after Friess announced it this week.
“I will match up to $2.5 million in any donations you send to the ‘Return to Civility Fund’ at the National Christian Foundation before March 24,” Foster states on his website. “These donations will go specifically to programs that improve school safety, develop youth mentoring, and promote a return to civility in our schools.”
Friess issued a similar challenge immediately following the Parkland shooting tragedy while a guest on Kimberly Fletcher’s radio program in late February. Fletcher is the chairperson for HomeMakers of America with a weekly radio show called “On the Homefront.”
