A gift of stock worth $25,000 in early 2013, which was given to initiate the Soque Legacy Endowment, has grown to $40,000. The purpose of the Endowment is to protect the Soque River for decades to come with hopes the fund will grow further in years ahead. Longtime Soque River Watershed Association board member Roy Lowe, more commonly known as “Rocketroy,” made the founding gift of stocks with the purpose of creating a permanent endowment for the Soque River and the Soque River Watershed Association, which is the organization tasked with its protection.
