The River Launch
In Henry County, the local population enjoys many hidden gems. One gem, in particular, has been made possible by generous donors through the Henry County Community Foundation. Beautify Knightstown INC received an HCCF grant to renovate the Sunset Park Extension for the kayak and canoe launch. 
Sunset Park and Kayak Launch - Now ADA accessible thanks to donors like you!

"Without the grant from the Foundation, it wouldn’t be possible. This is a place that residents can enjoy, and it attracts river enthusiasts from other areas. The Big Blue River is a great natural resource that Knightstown can use to encourage tourism."

Congratulations
to Debi Ware on
her retirement!
Debi serves as a board member, grants committee chair, and treasurer for the Community Foundation.

“The reward is seeing when we grant funds to organizations and what they do with the funds, the success they have with the program, and what impact it makes on them and the community they serve. It’s great to see what HCCF does for Henry County; we are so blessed to be able to reach out and help in so many ways.”

HCCF is exceedingly grateful for all that Debi has accomplished for the Foundation and all that she continues to do to make a difference in our community!
