Based on the above case facts, Church of Stranger Things has a legal right to claim the donation, and FUN Company is legally liable for fulfilling its promise.
According to the legal doctrine of promissory estoppel, which falls under contract law, if a party (promisor) makes a promise to another party (promisee), such that the promisee reasonable relies on the promise and enforcement of the promise will establish justice, then the promisor is legally liable for keeping his or her promise.

Because of reliance on the promise and the goal to use the donation to expand the church, the pastor of the church incurred expenses in buying materials and hiring an architect, a general contractor and labor. For this reason, the pastor of the church reasonable relied on the promise of donation and lack of enforcement would create injustice. Therefore, under the legal doctrine of promissory estoppel, the pastor of the church or Church of Stranger Things has a legal to right to enforce the promise or demand reliance damages from FUN Company.
