This endowment created in 1986 by Charles A. and Charlotte Massinople was originally designated to benefit the Reverend Paul V. Helsley Charitable Trust. When that trust ceased to exist in 2003 future annual income was designated to support the St. Francis DeSales Catholic School in Beckley, WV. Charles was a life-long member of St. Francis DeSales Catholic Church and co-chair of the fund drive which built St. Francis de Sales Grade School in 1957. Charlotte was a role model as wife and mother, supporting her family and community throughout the years. Charles Massinople founded and served as president of Mabscott Supply Co. until he retired, turning the reins over to his son, Marion Charles “Mike” Massinople. Named as recipients of the 2001 Spirit of Beckley Award, Charles, Charlotte, Mike and Kitty were honored for their extensive community involvement.
