We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have supported SCCF in the past and who continue to foster local, place-based philanthropy.”
This initiative is funded by four SCCF Funds: the Chief Dave Hall First Responders Fund, the Sefton-Leggett Legacy Fund, the A.L. Degel / R.L. Shambarger First Responders Fund, and the Donald and Diana Thomas First Responders Fund. These funds are composed of local contributions from generous donors who recognize the importance of strengthening local organizations dedicated to enhancing Sanilac County.
