The 10 Squared Women of Guthrie County have announced their latest donations in support of four local organizations. The Guthrie County Arts Council was chosen to receive $11,300 following the group’s third-quarter meeting. The 501(c)3 non-profit was created in 2011 to promote artists and provide creative opportunities and experiences to improve residents’ quality of life. The donation will be used to begin construction of musical playground equipment in Guthrie Center’s Mitchell Park. The Tori’s Angels Foundation was also awarded $7,650. This non-profit supports children with life-threatening medical conditions and their families by covering all medical expenses not covered by insurance, such as travel expenses, lodging, meals, prescriptions and more. Tori’s Angels have sponsored 75 children since it was formed in 2011 and currently supports eight children within Guthrie County. The final donation was split between the Guthrie Center and Panora Fire Departments. Each department received $1,650 to purchase gear for the volunteer firefighters and a much-needed generated at the Panora Fire Station. Following these contributions, the 10 Squared Women have donated nearly $178,000 in the four years since it was founded.
