Salvation Army set to get Kroc millions Community center to be built By Margo Rutledge Kissell Dayton Daily News The Salvation Army of Dayton will get millions of dollars to build a Ray and Joan Kroc community center in Old North Dayton, on a tract of land that houses a former mansion. Dayton beat out several larger cities, including Pittsburgh and Cleveland, to get a chunk of the $1.6 billion bequest McDonald's heiress Joan Kroc left the international charity to develop dozens of community centers in under-served neighborhoods across the country. Dayton was one of only eight commands in the eastern United States to get the nod, of 29 that applied for part of Kroc's unprecedented gift — the largest ever given to a charity. "This is a high privilege for us," Maj. Tom Duperree said Wednesday. "It speaks well of Dayton."

February 7, 200619 yr Center proposal wins $69M Salvation Army's community center plan linked to raising $6 million locally By Margo Rutledge Kissell Dayton Daily News DAYTON | The Salvation Army of Dayton will receive $69 million from the international charity to build and help operate a community center in North Dayton if officials can raise $6 million locally. "We're elated. It's a wonderful day for the city of Dayton," the Dayton command's Maj. Tom Duperree said in a phone call from West Nyack, N.Y., on Monday afternoon. He and business manager Reggie Winters learned the news during a meeting for the eight communities in the Salvation Army's eastern territory that was awarded funds as were part of the $1.6 billion bequest McDonald's heiress Joan B. Kroc left the charity when she died in 2004. She wanted the gift to be used to develop community centers in underserved neighborhoods across the country. The local command would receive $33 million for construction and a $36 million endowment to help operate the complex at Keowee and Webster streets, now the site of the Duncarrick mansion, that would feature recreation, education and worship components. They would have a year to show they are able to raise $6 million locally. "I don't think there's a much better deal we could have struck today," Winters said. http://www.daytondailynews.com/localnews/content/localnews/daily/0207salvation.html

February 17, 200718 yr Advisory board donated $1M Commitment helped secure a $60 million investment, one of eight Kroc centers to be built around the country By Margo Rutledge Kissell Saturday, February 17, 2007 From the start, the Salvation Army of Dayton was a strong contender in its quest to obtain millions of dollars to build a Kroc center in north Dayton. "In all corners, they were strong," said Major Hugh Steele of the charity's eastern territory headquarters in West Nyack, N.Y., which would manage the accounting for the project. Dayton is one of eight communities in the eastern territory to receive approval. However, only five — Dayton, Philadelphia, Boston, Staten Island, N.Y., and Massena, N.Y. — have already leaped the final hurdle to move into the design phase. The Dayton command's strong staff leadership and excellent advisory board support stood out to Steele, especially when last August the 34 advisory board members pledged a combined $1 million of their own money in the charity's fundraising campaign.
