Fund raises $100,000 for Hudson schools

Two anonymous donors helped the Hudson School District meet a goal to raise $100,000 to create an endowment for the Hudson Schools Arts and Humanities Fund. The fund is one of six such funds the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation launched over the last ten years. The Foundation received an anonymous check for $25,000 in December topping off a fundraising effort that had been underway for over a year. Berkshire Taconic’s consultant Jeffrey Levitsky, who administers the fund, said the check was a terrific vote of confidence, "in the power of the arts and humanities to bring inspiration and hope to the students of the Hudson public schools."
