STEVENS POINT — CAP Services is entering the home stretch of a $300,000 capital campaign for its new 2900 Hoover Road location in Stevens Point. CAP relocated several offices there in June 2017 and has raised over $240,000 of its goal.

Delta Dental of Wisconsin accounts for $50,000 of the total raised so far and has pledged an additional $10,000 matching gift to help CAP achieve its fundraising goal. Delta Dental, a longtime funding partner with CAP and St. Michael’s Foundation on the Ascension (formerly Ministry) Dental Center, will match $1 for every $2 raised from now through August 15th. To make a tax-deductible gift, visit capservices.org/donate and select the Capital Campaign Fund as your designated fund.

“Delta Dental is a strong partner for CAP and the community,” said CAP President and CEO Mary Patoka. “We are grateful for their commitment to dental health and to philanthropy. We have seen first hand the difference their mission makes in the lives of those we serve.”

CAP’s Hoover Road location houses the corporate and early childhood education administrative staff previously located on Highway 10 East, as well as business and auto lending staff previously located at CAP’s Program Office on West River Drive. The cost of the building was paid through the sale of property and the capital campaign.

Major capital campaign donors include Delta Dental of Wisconsin; Victor and Christine Anthony; Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corp.; Seramur Family Foundation; Scaffidi Motors; Theda & Tamblin Clark Smith Family Foundation; Mary and Bob Berard; Edward J. Okray Foundation; Peters Family Foundation; Simplicity Credit Union; Worth Company; Mary Patoka and Dave Onan; Pointe Precision; Skyward; Kwik Trip; Ellis Construction Company; Wisconsin Public Service Foundation; Antioch Foundation; Ann and Bob Shannon; Patty and John Noel; John Gusmer; Marshfield Clinic Health Systems; Associated Bank; Investors Community Bank; Brett and Darcy Jarman; Bull’s Eye Credit Union; Steel King Industries; Marg Coker-Nelson; Krause Foundation; River Cities Bank; Laura West; and International Bank of Amherst.
