The Morris Area Foundation received a boost last week from the community and the Morris Bigway.

The Round It Up fundraiser saw purchases voluntarily rounded up to the next dollar.

"If your purchase is, for example, $2.25 the cashier asks if you wish to round it up to $3.00," Morris Area Foundation's Curtis Evenson explains. "It adds up over several days."

In total, the fundraiser was able to give back $1,663 to the foundation.

"I would like to thank Bigway at Morris for the support, as well as all the wonderful people from across the Morris Foundation Area and outside of it that supported the Foundation on Saturday and throughout the year," he says.

"You are certainly making a difference for the future for our area," Evenson adds.
