The June Shaver Estate on Wednesday announced the 2021 gifts to the Crookston High School and other Crookston Community Organizations from the estate. Shaver passed away in 2014, and the estate has donated In Shaver’s honor ever since.
Dave Aamoth of Edward Jones manages the estate and said 2021 was the largest gift from the estate. “It’s been a wonderful annual event,” said Aamoth. “June was very community-minded and focused on leaving a nice legacy to these organizations that she cared for a great deal. Today we were able to issue checks to these seven organizations for a total that came to $106,302. This is the largest annual gift we have given and three of the last four years we’ve been able to give a six-figure donation. Since this thing started there has been a total of just about $572,000 given to these organizations. Annette Hegg was handpicked by June to be the captain of this ship and is doing a great job with that. It’s a very encouraging and neat thing for our community.”
