The recipients of the Q2 2024 grants include a diverse range of initiatives, each dedicated to making a positive impact in their respective fields:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Poston Butte High School \u2013 $1,500. <\/span><\/b>The grant awarded to Poston Butte High School will be used for the renovation of the teachers and staff lounge.

  2. Friends of Pinal County Animal Shelter & Rescues, Inc. \u2013 $2,000. <\/span><\/b>Friends of Pinal County Animal Shelter & Rescues, Inc. received funding to support their spay\/neuter voucher program.

Support from businesses in the community ensures the program can continue distributing over 2,500 backpacks filled with supplies.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Friends of the Casa Grande Ruins – $1,500. <\/span><\/b>The grant, which will be officially presented in Fall 2024, will support Phase III of the Casa Grande Ruins Pollinator Gardens.
