A match challenge, and 4 donations, turned into a 10-thousand dollar contribution for the Missions for Taylorville tornado relief today.

Miller Media Group president Randal J. Miller, challenged some of his local advertisers, that he would donate 25-hundred dollars towards Missions for Taylorville, if at least 3 of his advertisers would also contribute 25-hundred dollars each, to turn the total contribution into 10-thousand dollars.

Thanks to the generosity of 3 Miller Media Group advertisers—Computer Techniques, People's Bank and Trust, and McMillan Landscape—checks totaling 10-thousand dollars were presented to 2 Missions for Taylorville board members on Friday.
