PERMANENT SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED BY KWIK STAR STORES

 

 

 

            The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholar Chapter) received $2,500.00 as a contribution to establish a permanent scholarship in the name of Kwik Star Stores.

 

            Kwik Star Stores is located at Exit 201 off I-80 and has been located there for the past 5 ½ years.  They employ between 75 – 80 employees from the BGM and HLV communities.   Kwik Star Stores wanted to help promote better education within the school district by making their donation so every student wishing to continue onto higher education may do so.  By promoting our youth and local community activities, Kwik Star felt this was an excellent way of showing their support.

 

            The Foundation would like to thank Kwik Star Stores and their employees who helped make this contribution possible.  When you support CSF of BGM, you help open doors to education.  You are helping to make a difference.

 

            Anyone or organization wishing to make a donation to the Foundation please contact, Roger Van Ersvelde, member at large for the Board of Trustees, or any other board member.  You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA  52211
