Boy Scout Troop 358 Provides Financial Support to Marathon City 2020 LTD’s The Power of Community Ca

Local Boy Scout Troop 358 has contributed $150 to the Marathon City 2020 LTD’s The Power of Community Campaign benefiting the Heritage Center and building project. The Boy Scout funds have been allocated for The Power of Community Campaign which includes Heritage Center repairs, a Heritage Center sign, and a new park outside the center.

David Kindlarski, Senior Patrol Leader for Troop 358, presented Marathon City 2020 President Edee Zuleger with the $150 check on April 8, 2018.

The contribution from the Boy Scouts supports Marathon City 2020’s efforts to raise funds for The Power of Community Campaign. Marathon City 2020 plans to transform the worn-out parking lot and abandoned bank drive-thru on the Heritage Center property into an environmentally friendly and inviting greenspace. This “pocket park” will feature a covered stage, raised planting beds with built-in seating, a transitional area for additional seating or entertainment, bike racks and more so it can serve as a multifunctional place for education, relaxation, entertainment, and cultural attractions. Additionally, they plan to correct issues with the Heritage Center's front cornice and install a new visually appealing sign.

“The Marathon City 2020 board is extremely grateful to the local Boy Scouts for selecting us as a recipient of this donation because it will directly support ‘The Power of Community’ fundraising campaign,” said Edee Zuleger, president of Marathon City 2020 Ltd. “It’s also exciting that this donation will help us earn a matching grant from the Marathon Lions, who are matching donations $1 for $1 up to the next $5,000 we raise by May 4th.”

Zuleger encourages community members to donate online and show their spirit for Power of Community Campaign.

The Power of Community Campaign kicked off on October 26, 2017, and will continue throughout 2018. The organization’s goal is to secure necessary funds and begin construction in 2018, with anticipated completion by late summer so a grand opening can be scheduled by Labor Day weekend 2018 during the annual Fun Days community-wide event.
