Men of Red Rock makes donations

100+ Men Red Rock presented $10,000 to Give Grace Foundation and $2,525 to LifeWise Academy, the organization's 2026 third quarter recipients.

Doug and Jen Diers founded Give Grace on March 5 of this year. Our daughter Grace died in April 2025 and the foundation is named after her.

The Give Grace Foundation exists to support families navigating the death of a child by providing unsolicited financial funding to offset the cost of their child’s funeral. Relieving the financial burden of families in their time of grief provides a special gift that only those who have walked the journey of the death of a child can relate to. The Give Grace Foundation seeks your support to alleviate this burden for families and truly showcase the love of God in action.

LifeWise Academy, based in Hilliard, Ohio, is a released time religious instruction program providing Bible-based character education to public school students. With parent permission, students are released from school for one hour per week to attend off-campus classes at no cost to participating families.

The gift will help support costs associated with launching the local LifeWise Academy chapter, including curriculum and classroom supplies, staff support, and other launch-related expenses.

We are a group of men committed to giving back to the Lake Red Rock area by financially supporting the charitable organizations that serve the Red Rock region. We hold quarterly meetings to support local causes using a simple model:

100+ participating men x $100 contribution = $10,000+ to local charities in the Red Rock region.

Since our founding in 2015, 100+ Men has given more than $416,525 to 54 local entities that reside in and serve Marion County, Prairie City, and Monroe.

Our next quarterly meeting will be held at the Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10. Register at https://100menredrock.com/.
