North Valley Music School received a remarkable holiday surprise recently. Whitefish residents and philanthropists Jim and Lisa Stack donated $500,000 to finish the fundraising campaign for the new music school facility at Smith Fields.
The Stacks are known for their commitment to the Whitefish community and supporting nonprofits. The two own Stack Financial Management, a nationally recognized and independent investment firm. They served as King and Queen in the Whitefish Winter Carnival in 2010 and regularly participate in the parade as Vikings.
“We are both crazy about music and dancing, having both played in our high school bands in Kalispell and Cut Bank as we were growing up,” said Stack. “We’ve been watching the North Valley Music School campaign closely and started thinking, ‘What if we could take this to the finish line in time for the holidays?’
