On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Tuscarora Wildlife Education Project, I would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for a recent donation made to TWEP by the Board of Directors of the Lemasters Community Center.
This donation of $50,000 will benefit all that visit the Charles Brightbill Environmental Center.
We are very fortunate to have such a caring group of community members who had the task of dispersing funds to benefit the community in several ways.
We are honored to be among the recipients.
Sincerely,
TWEP Director, Sheila Snider

EITC Donation by Waste Management
TWEP recently received a $2000.00 donation from Waste Management. Waste Management has a long history of donating to education and is dedicated to helping children in the local communities. This year the company has a goal to educate over 200,000 youth to be environmental stewards. Since the EITC program began in 2002 Waste Management has donated over $15 million toward scholarships and to qualifying organizations. It is a win-win, benefiting students and families through scholarships, the company benefits by receiving a corporate tax credit and the community benefits through the support as well. The EITC program is a perfect example of public policy and private sector resources aligning to improve lives. |
