OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The Stephen Center has received a $1.3 million donation, thanks to a fundraising effort led by Warren Buffett and shareholders at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting. "Words barely scratch the surface on how I can convey what this means," said Chris Knauf, CEO of the Stephen Center. "This is truly a life-changing opportunity not just for the Stephen Center, but for those we serve." The donation stems from a unique auction held over the weekend. Berkshire Hathaway released a new history book, "60 Years of Berkshire Hathaway," and Buffett signed 20 copies. Those copies were auctioned off to the highest bidders — and Buffett matched the final amount, dollar for dollar. "We were just so blessed to hear him spend a good, significant sum of time talking about the Stephen Center and the commitment he made through this incredible opportunity," Knauf said. The money will go toward two major projects: a new substance treatment center and a housing facility for women and children.
