The Chapmans

Anson and Sheron Chapman are lifelong residents of Huron.

"Gene and Sheron Champman are a great example of giving back through their lifetime," said Gohn. "Huron Community Foundation is grateful to partner with them in honoring their commitment to Huron. They have a personal belief to pay it forward during their lifetime and will accomplish this through their newly created fund."

Their intentions were to provide funding to charities with the greatest need in the Huron community and believed the local community savings account was the best way to accomplish this.

They most liked the idea of being able to give many types of assets to their endowment. SDCF and Huron Community Foundation are grateful to partner with them in meeting their charitable goals.
