For 93 years, Mac's Toy Fund has been dedicated to ensuring families in Raleigh County experience a special Christmas. By providing toys, coats, bikes, and other necessities to families in need, they aim to spread holiday cheer and support within the community.
The Higgins Family Fund, under the Beckley Area Foundation, focuses on supporting performing arts in schools within the Beckley community. Established by long-time residents Connie and Millie Higgins and their extended family, the fund emphasizes the importance of performing arts education. James C. Higgins, a local attorney and former BAF Board member, played a significant role in the family's decision to contribute to this cause. With $4,000 available for awards, this grant aims to enrich the educational experiences of students through the performing arts.
