HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Several area agencies will receive an extra dose of support thanks to a $2.2 million gift to Hutchinson Community Foundation from the estate of the late Bonnie and Franklin Fee.
Half of the gift will sustain the Bonnie & Frank Fee Endowed Fund, with 50 percent supporting programs at Trinity United Methodist Church and the remaining 50 percent divided equally between the Boy Scouts Quivira Council, Girl Scouts Wheatbelt Council, Wesley Towers Foundation, Hutchinson Public Library and Hutchinson Art Center. Meanwhile, the remaining $1.1 million of the overall gift will support the Bonnie & Frank Fee Fund for Hutchinson Fund, serving the foundation’s unrestricted community endowment.
Frank was a partner in the Fontron-Fee Agency, now Fee Insurance Group, and was active in real estate. He filled numerous community roles, including as a USD 308 Board of Education member and a more than 50 year volunteer with the Boy Scouts. Bonnie served on several community boards including Wesley Towers, the Reno County American Red Cross and the Girl Scouts Wheatbelt Council and was active in the Hutchinson Art Association.
