The Barlow Family Foundation (BFF) of the Iowa Falls State Bank has invited Youth to Restore the CCC/POW Building (YRCPB) to participate in a Community Challenge fund-raising project that would result in the BFF matching our donations up to $50,000.<br /><br />For two weeks in October (October 6-17), all qualified donations to Youth to Restore the CCC/POW Building will result in matching money by the Barlow Family Foundation. The donations must be from individuals, with a minimum contribution of $25 and maximum contributions of $100 per person. <br /><br />The mission of YRCPB is to protect and preserve the architectural integrity and history of the Civilian Conservation Corps/Prisoner of War Recreational Hall. To develop appropriate use and interpretation as a historical and educational treasure for the benefit of future generations. This original Recreational Hall is the only one left in the United States that was used by both Civilian Conservation Corps (1933-1942) and Prisoners of War (1943-1945). Listed on the National Historic Register in 2012. <br /><br />Your help is needed to raise $20,000 in this two week period. Barlow Family Foundation will match that amount, giving us the money we need to finish the renovation of the Civilian Conservation Corps/Prisoner of War Rec Hall and Museum. Please consider helping us with this Community Challenge! Donations need to be deposited by October 17th. <br /><br />Where:<br />Checks may be made out to: CCC/POW Project and sent to the Iowa Falls State Bank - 601 Washington Avenue - Iowa Falls, IA 50126 . <br /><br />Facebook: Civilian Conservation Corps/POW Rec Hall<br />E-mail: cccpowrechall@gmail.com<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379068970809598759noreply@blogger.com
