Rose Family Offers Challenge Grant for Christmas Run Pool Rose Family Offers Challenge Grant for Christmas Run Pool Mark Gooch, chairman of the Friends of Christmas Run Pool (FOCRP) got some welcome news when a potential donor to the Christmas Run Pool Fund offered a one-for-one matching challenge grant to boost their fundraising efforts to keep the pool open. The challenge is made possible from the Rose Family Charitable Fund, established to honor Grant and Margaret Rose, long-time Wooster residents. This fund will match all donations up to a total of $25,000, made between now and June 6, 2010, which is the opening day of the Christmas Run Pool. “By meeting this challenge, we would be able to add $50,000 to what we have already received,” said Gooch, “which would get us fairly close to our initial goal. It also gives potential donors and businesses a greater incentive to support some of the fundraising activities planned by the committee. We are extremely grateful to the Rose family for making this challenge grant possible,” he added. All donations qualify for a charitable tax deduction and checks should be made payable to the Wayne County Community Foundation, listing Christmas Run Pool on the check memo line. Donors will be recognized by FOCRP based on their contributions within the below five giving levels: • Whale $5,000 and up • Marlin $1,000-4,999 • Dolphin $500-999 • Starfish $100-499 • Goldfish $0-99 The WCCF is a tax exempt public charity that consists of nearly 300 separate funds that were generously donated to benefit the community.
