Thank you for participating...


EPILOGUE -- The end of the No Roads Lead to Milbank quest, but the Endowment mission continues.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the No Roads to Milbank quest. The last 10 days have generated much-needed resources and visibility for the Milbank School Endowment fund. This endowment supports the City of Milbank in providing programs that are no longer funded and providing resources to develop our most-valued assets - children. 

This has been one small event of many we see everyday for every cause imaginable. If you followed along, if you spread the word, if you donated, you chose to participate and that is what is required -- people willing to help.
