CONWAY — The Gibson Center for Senior Services has announced a $30,000 fundraising challenge to help purchase a new accessible bus for older adults throughout the Mount Washington Valley.
An anonymous donor has pledged $30,000 to the bus campaign if the community raises $30,000 in new private donations. The challenge means that every dollar contributed toward the next $30,000 will effectively become two dollars for the new bus. The cost of the bus is $123,000 and Gibson Center is also pursuing grant opportunities.
