The Community Foundation of Charles County is pleased to announce a check presentation for its first restricted fund, The Babe and Dick Chaney Memorial Fund.
The Chaney Foundation made a generous $732,405 donation to the new fund last month to kick off the fund.

Its mission is to provide for a better quality of life for all citizens in the communities where Chaney Enterprises does business.
