The big check was presented for the Dillon Historic School Foundation Auditorium Project from Frank Hursey. Hursey made a contribution of $308,000. His generous gift was donated to cover the costs of items and installations necessary to upgrade the 1936 Auditorium by equipping it with light and sound systems, a video system, interior and exterior lighting, custom-made fencing, and restorations of two pianos.
