ership and we are honored to start this
fund for you.”
The fund started with $5,000 but quickly
grew to $10,000 as the next speaker,
Deb Whitmire McLaughlin with Sodexo,
said Sodexo would “match that donation.”
At the end of the night, Central Bank
of the Ozarks announced that it would
match donations up to $25,000 given to
the fund.
“The roast raised a minimum of
$51,000 for the students of Nixa Public
Schools,” Allen said Oct. 16. “And, with
the matching funds promised by Central
Bank, we have the opportunity to raise
a lot more as people donate toward this
new fund created in the honor of Dr.
Kleinsmith.”
So, per Kleinsmith’s request, a “a lot of
money” was raised.
