Cris Collingwood//May 13, 2022//
Capital Blue Cross awarded Lehigh County-based KidsPeace a $50,000 educational improvement grant.
Capital’s grant to KidsPeace will go toward the Donley Therapeutic Education Center, part of KidsPeace’s Orchard Hills campus in Orefield.
“We are very grateful to Capital Blue Cross for this generous donation,” said KidsPeace President and CEO Michael Slack. “It’s a true testament to their commitment to our community and the well-being of the children we help.”
Each year, the Donley TEC Center provides hundreds of children in KidsPeace’s inpatient and residential programs the opportunity to advance their educational progress, he said.
“Gifts like Capital Blue Cross’s make it possible for us to continue to offer children in crisis the educational resources they need to thrive in the future, while they heal today,” Slack said.
Susan Hubley, Capital Blue Cross vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility, said Capital understands the critical role KidsPeace and other nonprofit educational agencies play in our region.
“We’re proud to partner with KidsPeace in their efforts to provide support and education to children in crisis through our educational improvement grants,” Hubley said. “Our support of community organizations through these grants helps us honor our commitment to improve the overall health and well-being of our communities.”
The grant was one of 11 educational improvement grants totaling $190,000 to regional nonprofits, Capital Blue Cross said.
