Middle schools receive donations from nonprofit
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Four McAllen middle schools received donations last month from Dairy Max, a nonprofit affiliated with the National Dairy Council (NDC) and funded by dairy farming families in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Morris, Cathey, De Leon and Fossum middle schools all received $5,000 a piece. The nonprofit made only
20 donations in Texas — and McAllen netted four of them.
The grants are designed for middle school students and the donations are tied in with the Fuel Up to Play 60 Program, developed by the NDC and the National Football League.
The program is designed to encourage America’s youth to take action for their health by promoting wellness activities and nutritional eating habits.
