Every Child's Dream Phase II Fundraising Completed

credit:

The Winona Rivertown, Winona Sunset, and Winona Noon Lions Clubs teamed up with the Celanese Community Foundation to raise more than $103,000 to build two new picnic pavilions in Winona.

The goal was to build two pavilions with four picnic tables each and a canopy to give shade to two picnic tables, the Winona Daily News reports.

The additional check for $3,500 was received later from a pledge for this cause.

The construction of this phase will take place in early spring 2023.

Winona Community Foundation served as the fiscal sponsor for this effort.

The Lions would like to thank Celanese Community Foundation, the Winona Community Foundation, and all businesses and individuals that made this project a huge success.
