Youth United Way honors members, grads
Thursday, June 14, 2007
The Youth United Way annual appreciation dinner was held recently at Dexter Barbecue in Cape Girardeau to honor 2006-2007 members for their dedication and as a farewell to graduating seniors. The dinner concluded with the presentation of grants to local organizations. Area school campaigns raised nearly $22,000, and the Youth United Way members were asked to help allocate the funds they raised. Community grants were awarded to groups and organizations whose programs directly affect teen substance abuse and teen pregnancy. Grant requests were limited to $2,500.
