Wal Mart Gives to School Counts!
MADISONVILLE, Ky.--Sandy Brooks, manager of the Madisonville WalMart recently presented a check to Dr. Judy Rhoads, president of Madisonville Community College for $1,000 for the School Counts! program.
The Community Grant Program is the largest program funded by the Wal-Mart and SAM'S CLUB Foundation and includes both matching and direct grants. Direct grants are awarded to the local store to use in the community. These funds do not require a fundraiser to be held; instead the funds can be awarded directly to a deserving organization.
More than 80,000 grants, totaling $61 million, were awarded through the Community Grant program last year. Additional funds were also raised by participating community organizations who received matching funds.
