The Russell I. Wilcox Family established the Community Fund for Theresa to support various initiatives that benefit the greater Theresa, New York area. This includes supporting community development, preserving history, enhancing cultural and recreational activities, and improving overall quality of life. This mission reflects Russ Wilcox's commitment to the community, following his career with the Thousand Islands International Bridge Authority and his contribution to regional projects like the restoration of Boldt Castle.
The grant, specifically through the George R. Davis Fund for Lowville, is designed to support nonprofit programs, projects, and initiatives that improve life in the Village and Town of Lowville. This includes a focus on communities within these areas, with a funding cap of up to $15,000 available for selected initiatives.
