L & R Anixter Foundation Awards Generous Gift to Our  School

Nettelhorst Dreams is becoming Nettelhorst Reality!

We’ve received a wonderful gift of  $50,00 from Chicago’s L&R Anixter Foundation.  With this donation, we’ve raised well over 50% towards our goal of $230,000 — in just under three months — with no publicity until now!

“We were impressed the moment we walked into the school. The atmosphere was much different than I would have expected in a public school…lots of warmth and the feeling that there were many components at work to enrich the kids’ lives. We found a very dedicated group of teachers working with equally dedicated parents to ensure that their kids are getting the best education possible. L&R foundation is happy to support activities that are going to benefit children in the area.”
Steven Anixter,  L&R Anixter Foundation

Named after Lester and Rosalie Anixter, the L & R Anixter Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to charitable giving.
