"We're fortunate to live in an area that believes in giving back to our community. Thanks to the very generous donors we were able to award well-deserved grants to some organizations that are changing lives in McHenry County," said Deborah Thielen, Executive Director, The Community Foundation for McHenry County.

Named on the League of Historic American Theatres, Raue Center draws the finest talent, from live music to stand-up comedy, professional theatrical productions to fine arts education.

"Raue Center's educational programs continue to grow and expand to provide fine arts education for students in McHenry County," said executive director, Richard Kuranda. "The support of the Community Foundation of McHenry County will allow us to provide for more students and more teachers at a time when it's needed most. We are so thankful. And, I would be remiss if I didn't thank our lang standing Grant Writer Alicia Regan for her tireless work."
