We need Sponsors for our
Adopt-A Student Grant Program
The Well City Fox Cities Adopt-A-Student award is given to students (or student/teacher teams) of the Fox Cities area school districts who qualified for funding by submitting a written plan for a school project. This project needs to significantly contribute to the health and wellness of their classmates, their entire school or their community. The recipient may be awarded up to $500, and will be recognized at our annual Awards Banquet in April.
Our most recent award recipients include:
· Ferber Elementary School in Appleton for supporting 10 Special Olympic Athletes in the State Track Meet
· Horace Mann Middle School in Neenah for hosting a pedometer competition among 120 students
· Appleton North High School for assistance with their Garden Club which promotes outdoor gardening and healthy eating
· Lawrence University to further advance their student smoking cessation program with the purchase of a device to measure nicotine levels
We hope to raise $5,000 for this project, and ask that your organization help support us by writing a check to:
Well City Fox Cities - 6390 Quality Drive - Greenville WI 54942
You will receive recognition for your donation in our upcoming newsletter
and at the Well City Fox Cities Awards Banquet in April, when we present the awards.
Well City Fox Cities is recognized by the IRS as a public charity 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
