I received a message from Kelly Murphy who's trying to get the community behind a great cause through Clorox and it's "Power a Bright Future" program. Let's give her --- and our community -- the support!
Here's the lowdown on the endeavor.
Here's the lowdown on the endeavor.
There will be a total of 7 grants given away by Clorox this year — 4 based on votes, and 3 based on judge’s pick. The nomination with the most votes overall will receive a $50,000 grant. The nominations with the most votes in each category will each receive a $25,000 grant. Clorox will then review all nominations and pick one from each category based on merit to award a $25,000 grant in each category.
If Roy-Hart were to win the Clorox contest the corporation would give the District money to build a new playground at Gasport Elementary. The description on the Clorox website reads as follows:
Roy-Hart Elementary School is seeking this grant to grow its existing
playground with newer, safer, and more adaptive equipment to serve
children of all abilities and ages in its district. The old, weathered
playground that existed before the expansion is now half its original
size to accommodate the new building, and has no adaptive play equipment
for children with special needs to learn and develop to the best of
their abilities. In addition, it would benefit the rural community as a
whole because it would be a gathering place for families to allow their
children a safe place to play and grow.
There are 35 days left to vote. You can vote on the website and by text EVERY DAY.
The text code is 681pbf (text to 95248).
