National Philanthropy Day Celebration

On November 15, 2024, The Community Foundation for McHenry County hosted a memorable celebration in honor of National Philanthropy Day, bringing together friends, donors, and community partners to celebrate the spirit of giving. The event was a heartfelt tribute to the generosity that has such a powerful, transformative impact on our community. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with fellow changemakers from across McHenry County.

A special congratulations goes to our 2024 Philanthropists of the Year, Tom von Geldern and Cindy Skrukrud! Their unwavering commitment to the environment and the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge has not only made a lasting difference but also serves as an inspiring example of how individual actions can create positive, lasting change. We are incredibly proud to honor their remarkable contributions.

The Community Foundation for McHenry County extends its deepest gratitude to all of our donors and community partners. Your continued investment in our county’s future ensures that McHenry County remains a place where generosity and community thrive. Thank you for your ongoing support!
