Members of the Beacon House leadership team recently gathered at the site where the new Steve Mariucci Family Beacon House will be built, along with a recent donor to the campaign. The land, 1.8 acres on Seventh and Spring streets, was acquired from UP Health System for $1 at the end of December. Plans to break ground for the new Beacon House in the spring are dependent upon reaching their $3 million goal in pledges and donations. With the recent donation of $100,000 by Warren and Lezle Vonck, they are currently at $2.8 million with $200,000 to go. Donations and pledges can be made through the website, upbeaconhouse.org or calling 906-225-7100.
