Ken Gartland described his philosophy of giving and why he donated to the GAJMCC at this time: “My favorite quote is, ‘He who gives when he lives knows where it goes.'”

Gartland, who has owned several businesses in Escanaba since 1962, (and whose sons currently own these growing businesses), said, “We want to give back to the people of this community who supported us over the years; that’s why we’re giving back.”Ken and Pat Gartland presented the $20,000 check, written from the Kenneth and Patricia Gartland Endowment Fund, a fund held by the Community Foundation for Delta County, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of the Upper Peninsula.
