LGL: Millcreek Education Foundation
Students in the Millcreek School District will benefit from this week's JET24/FOX 66 Loving Giving Local donation from Auto Express Resale Center. Owner Joe Askins presented the Millcreek Education Foundation with a check for $250. The Millcreek Education Foundation is one of the oldest in the country having started in 1982. 'We're here for Millcreek school district students to provide essential student needs. And that can include personal items as well as items they need to just to be a student,' Executive Director Kristina Huber MA, CFRE, said. Huber said the foundation is likely best known for the scholarships that it awards students every year. 'Last year we gave almost $70,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors. Not only for college, but for trade schools,' she said. 'We also have scholarships for items you may need when going into a career or technical. We have an architect scholarship, and we also have art scholarships for art supplies that can be very costly.' To support the work of the foundation, they hold events, like the MEF craft show each year, a golf tournament, and a pop luck fundraiser. Partners in the community, corporations, education tax credits, and random donations like this week's Loving Giving Local check from Auto Express help support the work of the foundation. 'For us to be able to deliver Loving Giving Local to the Millcreek Education Foundation and to learn today that the donation we bring is going to go towards their Student-in-Need program, that's what Loving Giving Local is all about. And this foundation has been doing it since 1983,' Askins said.
