Jamestown  (CSi)  The Anne Carlsen Center has received a $2 million donation to aid in the construction of its new campus.

The donation comes from John Ballantyne and Vicky Berg of Fargo and is dedicated to the new facility. The Anne Carlsen Center broke ground on its new campus last month. The new facility will be located directly east of Jamestown Regional Medical Center. Site preparation work could start yet this fall with construction slated to begin next spring.

Anne Carlsen Center, CEO Tim Eissinger says, “This gift is one of the most generous we have ever received at Anne Carlsen.  John and Vicky understand how important our mission is for the children and families we serve, not only in Jamestown but across all the services provided in our eight community locations across North Dakota.”

Eissinger said the gift will aid the organization as it works to ensure that those with the most critical needs are able to receive the services, supports, therapies and educational programming they so critically need, and that Anne Carlsen has proudly provided for over 80 years.
