Update from April 14, 2026

Many of you contributed to a memorial fund for Bruce. I wanted to share that we finalized a contribution with those funds. We selected Foodbank for the Heartland’s backpack program. This program distributes weekend meals & snacks to food insecure kids through their school.

We were able to take advantage of a one-day program in which Woodhouse Auto Group double matched our funds - resulting in a total donation of $9,000 to the Foodbank.

Dad would be so honored by your generosity in his memory. Thank you very much for helping us make this a reality.
