Marshall County Promise will take part in this year’s Giving Tuesday event through the Marshall County Community Foundation.
Marshall County Promise is a program that helps youth in the county’s school systems dream about future careers and save for education beyond high school. Donations will be used to help local youth open CollegeChoice 539 accounts with an initial $25 deposit.
As part of Giving Tuesday, all donations to the Marshall County Promise fund will receive a dollar for dollar match up to $500 per individual donor.
Marshall County is one of 18 counties in the state participating in the Promise program. The college savings account can be used to fund college or any post-secondary education or career training.
The organization has set a goal of raising $25,000 in 24 hours on Nov. 28. Visit www.marshallcountygives.org to make a donation.
Marshall County Promise is a partnership between the Marshall County Community Foundation, public schools in Marshall County, Ancilla College, the Marshall County Career Success Coalition and United Way of Marshall County.
