 The Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation has named Stewart C. Mills Jr. its 2017 Philanthropy winner. Executive Director Carl Samp tells Lakeland News Mills has always helped others such as buying meals for veterans. Mills also has a strong connection with a 1945 graduating class from Brainerd High School and has helped sponsor the reunion. Samp says a lot of Mills Philanthropy is done anonymously and quietly. Mills has donated to organizations including the Crow Wing County Fair, Brainerd JC's Ice Fishing Extravaganza and the Governor's Fishing Opener. He'll be recognized on July 13th at the Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation annual dinner at Grandview Lodge in Niswa.
