ARCS ATLANTA ENDOWMENT

Thank you to Lou and Tom Glenn and the Wilbur and Hilda Glenn Family Foundation for the initial contributions that established our ARCS Atlanta Chapter Endowment. The 30th Anniversary Endowment Campaign, begun in 2022, sought to bring our Endowment to over $1 million. In December of 2024, the Wilbur and Hilda Glenn Family Foundation approved another extraordinary gift which allowed the ARCS Atlanta Endowment to surpass the 30th Anniversary Endowment Campaign goal of $1 million. To see the members and friends who contributed to this campaign, please visit our 30th Anniversary Endowment Campaign webpage under the Support Us tab. https://atlanta.arcsfoundation.org/30th-anniversary-endowment-campaign
