During the evening, organizations that have received grants from the Davison Community Fund presented on “the changes that happened.”

Presenters included Jan Lebert of Outreach East and Assistant Fire Chief Skip Davis of the Davison-Richfield Fire Authority.

The local committee advises grants from a permanent endowment started in 2004 to benefit the City of Davison, Davison Township and Richfield Township, said Mary Jo Herbig, Director of Communication for the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.

Sue Kenkel, principal at Davison High School, arranged for a district wide jeans day to benefit the Davison Community Fund. “So we’re closer to the goal.”

So far, total endowed assets from the Davison Community Fund and its associated funds are $179,194.

In 2015, the Davison Community Fund gave grants to Davison Community Schools, Hahn Garden Greenhouse, of $950 and to Outreach East, Davison Food Reclamation Project, $1,421.90.

The event was catered by MD Sports Bar & Grill.
