The Aroostook County Committee of the Maine Community Foundation recently awarded $3,500 to the Caribou School Department to go toward the construction of a six-court tennis complex. Committee members stated they were pleased to support a project that has such community support and which will benefit the citizens of Caribou and surrounding communities.
Caribou High School Athletic Director David Wakana said, “ The tennis court complex project is well on its way, with over $22,000 having been contributed to date. The fund-raising goal of $300,000 is now within reach and ground-breaking is set to begin in the very near future.”
The source of this grant, the Aroostook County Fund, is a fund managed by the Maine Community Foundation, built through donations from the community. Anyone wishing to donate the Aroostook County Fund, may do so by contacting Pam Scheppele at (207) 540-6494 or pschepple@mainecf.org.
