琼斯家族基金会捐款1000万美元 支持克林顿总统中心翻新扩建
据《阿肯色商业》（Arkansas Business）等媒体报道，达拉斯牛仔队老板杰里·琼斯与妻子吉恩名下的吉恩与杰里·琼斯家族基金会10月12日（周一）宣布，向克林顿基金会捐款1000万美元，用于支持位于阿肯色州小石城的克林顿总统中心现代化翻新与扩建。琼斯当天在小石城"达阵俱乐部"（Little Rock Touchdown Club）活动上与前总统比尔·克林顿同台宣布了这笔捐赠。
琼斯在声明中表示，能与妻子吉恩和家人一起站在克林顿总统身边作出这笔捐赠，是他最大的荣誉之一，并称阿肯色州、小石城和阿肯色大学是其家庭经历的核心。克林顿则称琼斯为"美国体育界的标志性人物"，对他对家乡阿肯色州的投入深表感激。
据报道，这笔资金将用于提升克林顿总统中心的教育设施，包括面向各年龄段学生的课程、教师资源以及成人和公民学习项目，并支持隶属阿肯色大学系统的克林顿公共服务学院——该学院开设全美首个公共服务硕士学位。此次改造是该中心二十年来的首次大规模翻新扩建，由建筑师珍妮·甘（Jeanne Gang）及其 Studio Gang 事务所领衔设计，内容包括翻新克林顿—戈尔政府展厅、新建一座展示希拉里·克林顿生平服务的展馆和档案馆、为公共服务学院新建校舍，以及重新设计占地50英亩的克林顿总统公园。
克林顿总统中心自2004年开放以来，已接待超过550万名访客，为小石城和北小石城地区带来超过49亿美元的经济影响，52.5万名学生和教育工作者曾免费入馆参观，克林顿公共服务学院已培养700多名毕业生。

Jerry Jones Family Foundation Gives $10 Million to Clinton Presidential Center Renovation
The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Foundation, the charitable arm associated with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his wife Gene, announced on Monday, Oct. 12, a $10 million donation to the Clinton Foundation to support the modernization and renovation of the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, according to Arkansas Business and Talk Business & Politics. Jones announced the gift alongside former President Bill Clinton at a Little Rock Touchdown Club event.
"It is one of my greatest honors to stand next to President Clinton and be able to make this donation with my wife, Gene, and our family," Jones said in a statement, adding that Arkansas, Little Rock and the University of Arkansas have been at the core of his family's experience. Clinton called Jones "an American sports icon" and said he was deeply grateful for Jones's dedication to their home state of Arkansas.
The funding will enhance the Clinton Center's educational facilities, which house programming for students of all ages, teacher resources, and adult and civic learning, as well as the Clinton School of Public Service, part of the University of Arkansas System, which offers the nation's first Master of Public Service degree. The modernization and expansion, the first in two decades, is led by architect Jeanne Gang and Studio Gang and includes a renovation of the Clinton-Gore administration gallery, a new gallery and archive dedicated to Hillary Clinton's lifetime of service, a new home for the Clinton School of Public Service, and a major redesign of the 50-acre Clinton Presidential Park.
Since opening in 2004, the Clinton Center has generated more than $4.9 billion in economic impact in Little Rock and North Little Rock, welcomed more than 5.5 million visitors, opened its doors free of charge to 525,000 students and educators, and graduated more than 700 students from the Clinton School of Public Service.
