Support for The Learning Zone

Mike Ratcliff from the Chillicothe Township presented a check for $1,000 to Pearce Director Ben Alvarez for The Learning Zone, a supplemental education program for area children in grades K-8. 

The Learning Zone was selected to receive support because it meets the Township's mission of providing programs for low-income Chillicothe residents. Financial aid is available to all students who qualify. Pearce membership is not required to be eligible for assistance. 

Summer Camp Donation to Pearce

Last week, Pearce received a donation of $650 from 3 Sisters Summer Camp Music Festival to be used to support ongoing operations at Pearce. This program was created by regional promoter Jay Goldberg about 10 years ago as a way to give back to non-profit organizations in Chillicothe.

People who purchase Summer Camp tickets either online or at the box office can choose to pay an extra $1.50 to support Chillicothe non-profits. It is not simply a cost of the ticket. The purchaser is making a choice to support the community.

All of the money that is raised is then divided equally between all the organizations that have applied for a distribution.
