Meet Becky Cross
In 1995, The McDowell Endowment was established with a $10,000 gift from a family with deep ties to McDowell County. It was created to offer a safe, purposeful, long-term way for people to give back. The endowment has grown to over $1.2 million. Becky was the driving force in establishing The McDowell Endowment and the initial chairperson and was a member of the advisory board for 20 years.
