Kroc Center

A pair of gifts totaling $4 million recently pushed the Salvation Army Kroc Center's fundraising drive past its goal and qualified the project for $67.8 million from the estate of McDonald's heiress Joan Kroc.

Construction on the 85,000-square-foot Kroc Center will begin in 2010. The Kroc Center will include an aquatics center, classrooms, a 400-seat theater, a 270-seat banquet hall with a stage for a dinner theater, rehearsal areas and many other features.
