GUILFORD — Friends of Community Fitness is thrilled to announce an incredible opportunity to strengthen the future of the community center. A generous donor has offered a $25,000 match  challenge to support the organization’s endowment savings.

With $13,000 already saved, Community Fitness is now working diligently to raise an additional $12,000  before July 1 to take full advantage of this matching opportunity. If successful, the challenge will result  in a total of $50,000 to launch the organization’s endowment fund. 

“This is an amazing opportunity for our organization and the people we serve, and we are calling on our  community to help us meet the challenge.” said Britney Gallagher, executive director of Friends of  Community Fitness.
