A generous donation from a local couple will go towards improving education in the Butler Area School District.
A gift of $100,000 made by Jack and Jane Arthurs to the Golden Tornado Scholastic Foundation was recently announced. Jane Arthurs passed away in 2015 while Jack Arthurs died in 2020.
This is the largest unrestricted gift in the history of the foundation. The money will be used to support the mission of the foundation.
The Golden Tornado Scholastic Foundation is an independent non-profit organization that assists Butler students through programs like Creative Teaching Grants, The Kids Weekend Backpack Program, and scholarships for graduates.
