Gary L. Wilson, trustee of the private Wilson Thornhill Foundation, has issued his third challenge to Strive.  As a show of faith in our long-term vision and to strengthen our current efforts in this climate of economic uncertainty, Mr. Wilson has agreed to match all funds raised up to a total of $250,000.

In 2004, Wilson issued his first challenge in the amount of $125,000. That challenge was achieved and the resulting fund enabled renovation of our studio and much more (please see photo tour).

In late 2006, Wilson issued a second challenge in the amount of $300,000. That challenge, too, was successfully achieved by the end of 2007. This fund enabled us to expand our programs into our fully renovated  11,000-square-foot mini-campus.

Strive is 100% debt free and has 100% equity in our fully renovated campus.
No donor gifts are ever expended on rent, lease or mortgage costs.
