$998,470.15. That's the final total from Atchison's annual All Aboard Atchison Match Day event, touted by the Atchison County Community Foundation as a "record breaking achievement."

(KAIR)--A release from the foundation is issued to thank those who offered support, with the release saying "community members came together in extraordinary generosity to raise [the thousands of dollars] in support of local nonprofit organizations."

The Foundation, in the release, says the funds generated by last month's fundraiser "is a testament to the incredible spirit of giving in Atchison County," as "dozens of nonprofits benefited from the event, which drew widespread support from community members, local businesses, and volunteers."

The release notes that "the Foundation extends heartfelt gratitude to all who made this possible: the many generous donors in our community, the dedicated volunteers from Benedictine College, and the Atchison Event Center staff for hosting the day- activities," adding that "most importantly, this remarkable total would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our matching sponsors, whose commitment to community philanthropy amplified every gift."

Foundation Executive Director Grace Sammoury, in the release, says the success of Match Day "continues to show that the Atchison Community truly is ‘all aboard’,” adding that the "donors, both large matching sponsors and smaller local donations come together to show incredible support for the work of our local nonprofits.”
