Many years ago, Jared Littmann, realized that as a neighborhood store, that he needed to give back. And Cash For Schools was born. The concept was simple. When a customer makes a purchase, they can donate a small amount to a designated school and K&B True Value Hardware would match it up to $5000.
Since its inception in 2009, K&B True Value Hardware and their customers have donated a whopping $34,448 to our local schools.
This year, in addition to the $5000 match from K&B, Bay Ridge Wine & Spirits decided to offer their own $5000 match for contributions between $5000 and $10,000. And not to be outdone, Severn Bank joined the team this year with an additional $5000 match for contributions between $10,000 and $15,000!
In the end, there was a potential for a $30,000 contribution.
Mission accomplished!
Last week, checks were presented to the Principals (or their representative) of many of the area schools that received donations.
