$580,000 is raised for Black Hawk restoration
The 102-year-old Black Hawk Statue may soon be getting a much needed facelift.
Frank Rausa, a member of The Friends of the Blackhawk Statue Committee, announced Jan. 27 that the organization has reached 92.8 percent of the estimated $625,000 needed to restore the statue.
"The Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., awarded our group a $150,000 matching grant and the grant provides a 50 percent match for all contributions received since July 2012," said Rausa in a press release.
