RV/MH Hall of Fame Pledges/Donors
Our Life Blood
Non-profit organizations such as the RV/MH Heritage Foundation depend upon the generosity of friends of the organization to fund the day-to-day operations and for on-going capital improvements.
It’s our life blood and we hope those friends that have enjoyed a good life from the fruits of the RV/MH Industries will continue to support the Foundation. We are fortunate to have pledges totaling $11,132,917 and have received $8,207,917 of those pledges — plus $1,997,500 in non-monetary gifts of kind for a grand total of $10,205,417 received.
Please call us at 800-378-8694 to add your name to the list by pledging today.
