Major Donation to Hoffman Hall

The City of Prairie du Chein Parks & Recreation Director Mike Ulrich is happy to announce that Bruce Welsch, an avid swimmer at Hoffman Halls pool, has donated $25,000.00 in honor of his Mom and Dad, Chuck & Bernice Welsch.

In his tribute to them he writes:

Thank you for your love, caring, and guidance. Thank you for supporting me in High School, College, and when joining the Armed Forces. Thank you for being great role models. Thank you for your endless sacrifices. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being you! You may be gone but will never be forgotten and will always be remembered. God Bless you.

Chuck and Bernice will be honored with a plaque on the “Leaders” Donor Wall at Hoffman Hall and the donation will be earmarked for Hoffman Hall Improvements. Ulrich said this is very gracious and heartfelt gift from Bruce and benefits the entire community.

On behalf of the City of Prairie du Chien, we appreciate the significance of this donation as a lifelong memory on their behalf.
