Frederickson Fund donates to Friends of the Outdoor Classroom
April 14th, 2016 by Ric Hanson
The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund recently donated $2,500 to the organization Friends of the Outdoor Classroom. Trevor’s mom/fund spokesperson Melanie Petty, says the funds are expected to finish up the kitchen in the 12×20 addition that has recently been added on.
For the last 20 years the Outdoor Classroom has been an educational experience for students at CAM and other Cass county students. Along with the expanded shelter the 87 acre area also has a quail habitat and a butterfly garden.
Petty reminds you, that the Frederickson Fund’s annual golf tournament will be held August 13th, 2016 at Nishna Hills Golf Club. All monies raised are given out through the year to various non profit organizations that meet the fund’s mission statement of giving back to things that Trevor cared about and was a part of. Scholarships for graduating AHS Seniors will be handed out May 11th at their Senior Night.
Trevor lost his life tragically in a house fire on June 18, 2009. The family and community has since given back more than $120,000 to the community that Trevor loved. Petty says they look forward to continuing giving back for many years to come.
