29 local fund holders of the Atchison Area Community Foundation (AACF) collectively raised over $330,000 at the first annual “All Aboard Atchison” Match Day Fundraiser held on August 13th at the Atchison Event Center.

There were 599 gifts made from the public totaling $249,760.57 and with $80,000 in matching funds as well as $2,000 in prize drawings provided by the event sponsors, the grand total comes out to $331,760.57

“The All Aboard Atchison Match Day Event was a bigger success in our first year than we could have ever imagined,” said Jonathan Mize, Chairman & President of AACF. “Atchison is an incredibly generous community and it was such a pleasure to highlight and support the 29 fundholders that participated this year.”

The major sponsors of the All Aboard Atchison Match Day were the Courtney S. Turner Charitable Trust, the Adair / Exchange Bank Foundation, Blish-Mize Co., the Guy I. Bromley Trust, the Pratt Foundation, and MGP Ingredients.

All Aboard Atchison, AACF’s annual match day event, will be back in 2022 looking to raise even more money for more local causes. To learn more about the All Aboard Atchison Match Day Event, visit www.allaboardatchison.com.
