Focus Multisports donates to children in nature fund

March 19, 2017

Focus Multisports race directors Rick Hundley and Ernie Felici recently donated $1,000 to the Linda & John Hollis Children in Nature Fund with proceeds from the second annual 5K Run/Walk at the Sussex Outdoors Summit. Previously known as The Children in Nature Endowment Fund, the Linda & John Hollis Children in Nature Fund is dedicated to the promotion of meaningful outdoor educational experiences for youth both in school and out of school.

Six years ago, Seaford resident John Hollis recognized the significant positive impact of getting out in nature, and he aimed to celebrate the diverse ecosystems and parks system throughout the state by founding the Sussex Outdoors Summit. In October 2016, in tribute to Hollis, state officials named the new Children in Nature Endowment after Hollis and his wife Linda, who have been champions for children and the outdoors. The permanent endowment through the Delaware Community Foundation will provide opportunities for children to experience nature statewide.
