Philanthropy Still Alive and Well

Benedict and Dorothy Gorecki of Milaca recently donated $1 million to CentraCare Health Foundation Hospital. The St. Cloud Hospital Gorecki Guest House will be a non-profit service that provides affordable, temporary housing to families and patients receiving medical care in the St. Cloud community. Mr Gorecki explained the impetus behind their philanthropy, which included their long-standing commitment to education, and the desire to fill a need where others fell short. He frankly stated that its just tough to get money for Senior Citizens--and the Gorecki's have a "soft spot" in their hearts for that. Benedict and Dorothy's donation is the "lead gift" of a $2.5 million fund-raising campaign. For more information, call 320-229-5199.
