Amon Carter Tree Thank You

Most of you know the story, but after World War II, in appreciation for the YMCA of Fort Worth helping connect Amon Carter with his son who was being held as a POW in Europe, Amon Carter donated the land that is now YMCA Camp Carter. As a dedicated philanthropist, Amon Carter did so much more. He created the Amon G. Carter Foundation to steward and invest his wealth, not only in great structures like Amon Carter Stadium at TCU or in world class art at the Amon Carter Museum, but in the future of our world. This year, the Foundation supported YMCA Camp Carter with a grant to purchase and plant over 65 tress around our property. Not because of a great need today, but to enhance the property in the future. One day, these trees may join Grandmother Oak on the Fort Worth Tree registry. Thank you to all of you as volunteers, donors and staff because what you are giving and doing today is really not for today, but for the future.
