A donor representative presented a $30,000 donation for White Park in Bay Minette, and officials approved a motion to accept the gift during a Baldwin County meeting.
The donor representative said the group has returned “Dollars back to Baldwin County, including 22,500 in college scholarships,” and that it partnered with the city of Bay Minette in 2024 to help renovate White Park. “Now in 2025, we are donating back to the park,” the representative said.
Speakers at the meeting thanked the donors for the gift and for previous scholarship support. One attendee praised the donation as “an awesome way to have a legacy and a memory” and said the contribution “means a lot.” A meeting participant also said the donor’s recent fundraiser had been successful and that scholarship awards from the donor’s foundation reach local students.
