Partnership between Aggie Foundation and Best Kept Secret Supports Community Groups
MINOT, North Dakota – The Aggie Foundation made a $1,500 donation to On the Water which will help fund their mission to serve military veterans and their families.
Chuck Betts, Founder and President of On the Water, shared what it means to give back to the community.
“It’s truly an honor to live in Western North Dakota. Minot is a very, very loving and caring community to our Veterans and western North Dakota is absolutely wonderful…it’s an honor and a privilege for us to serve our Veterans in North Dakota and the surrounding communities,” Chuck stated.
“We can’t change what veterans have experienced, but we can help support them when they come home.” said Terry Peterson, Aggie Foundation Board President. “Supporting programs like these is why our partnership with Best Kept Secret is so important.”
On the Water is an organization that focuses on taking combat Veterans with disabilities on fishing trips at no cost to them. The organization also has family programs to help with the stress that a deployment can have on a family.
The Aggie Foundation was established in 2012 by a group of friends from Velva, ND. The Foundation initially supported its mission of charitable giving via a modest, yearly scholarship provided to a Senior from Velva who excelled in Biology. They began to help raise funds for citizens in need, schools, youth sports, and local organizations or groups doing good things in Velva and the surrounding communities. Their expansion as a broad grant-provider and community partner allows them to support organizations across North Dakota working with community leaders to identify which organizations are in need of economic assistance.
