Crean, founder of Fleet- wood Enterprises, has pledged $100,000 toward the RV/MH Hall of Fame's Kevin Clayton Debt Elimination Challenge fund rais- ing campaign. The Kevin Clayton Debt Elimination Challenge campaign was launched in October 2014 when Kevin Clayton, chief ex- ecutive officer of Clayton Homes Inc., pledged $200,000 to help the RV/MH Hall of Fame be- come debt free in five years. He challenged other large and small companies, as well as individu- als, in the manufactured hous- ing (MH) industry to step up and help raise a total of $1 mil- lion. Since that time, many MH companies and individuals have made pledges and donations. Darryl Searer, chairman and president of the RV/MH Hall of Fame (Hall), described the MH industry's support of the chal- lenge as "fantastic." Searer said, "The Crean Foundation's pledge of $100,000 brings the total pledges and donations to $467,573, which is pretty amazing since the campaign is only about four months old." However, Searer pointed out while he is en- courage by the early support of the campaign, he's not becoming complacent. He said, "We are nearing fifty-percent of our goal and that means we still have fifty-percent to go. There's more work to be done. This is an excellent op- portunity for those who have made a good living from the MH industry to give back to their industry in a way that will have a last- ing effect and also enhance their own legacy. And if they do, I'm confident that we will meet our goal." Judy Jankowski, the Hall's vice presi- dent of development, is contacting other leaders in the MH industry asking for their support of the campaign. Searer said, "It's encouraging to see so many individuals making pledges and dona- tions toward the campaign. Individual pledges and donations of $100 to $500 have generated $8,400 since the campaign launched. We'll need a lot more of these gifts if we are to meet our goal."
