George Butt Supporting the Heart of Arcola
The George Butt Foundation Fund Story
Having someone like George give back to our community is so huge and beneficial for us... The curling rink and the hall are really the heart of our community and all of those facilities are non-profit, so having donations towards them really does help plan for the future.

When the Mayor of Arcola, Scott Tessier, was asked about the impact of George’s donation, he said, “It’s really important to be able to have stable funding in order to operate and keep things going. If there were more Funds like [George’s] that brought in more stable funding for us it would help a lot.”
“People who want to give back right where they live, where their business is, or where they grew up can work with SSCF to ensure their community benefits, forever, from their gifts. Thank you, George, for making a difference in Arcola,” said Donna Ziegler, Executive Director at SSCF.
