Elmo Hurst and his wife, Betty, established this endowment fund in 1988 to benefit the Women’s Resource Center which he played a major part in founding. All income from the fund will go to the center for battered spouses, a cause Hurst, retired president of Elgin Industries, has espoused for many years. As with all BAF funds additional contributions made to these funds are not spent; only the annual income earned is distributed.
