Ray “Butch” and Sandra Shook Welcome Center – $200,000 Matching Opportunity!

October 18, 2024 - December 4, 2024

Grace College is excited to transform Westminster Hall’s main floor and banquet space into the vibrant Ray “Butch” and Sandra Shook Welcome Center, connecting visitors to our beautiful campus and stunning lakeside community. This project will maintain faithful stewardship of a beloved historic building while transforming a treasured space to better serve our visitors and prospective students. 

This project will feature the current Winona History Center and community banquet room while adding new space for our admissions office, a modern campus store, and lakeside rentals.

With a goal of $2,000,000 and $1,600,000 already raised, we aim to complete renovations by 2025–and you can be a part!  We are thrilled to share that there is a 1:1 matching opportunity of $200,000, amplifying the impact of your gift. Gifts made towards the Welcome Center project before December 3, Giving Tuesday, will be matched by an anonymous donor. 

Your partnership is vital in creating a warm, inviting space for prospective students to feel at home and picture themselves as future Lancers! Would you prayerfully consider making a gift today?

Individual gifts of $1,000 or more will be honored on a donor recognition display.
