Vigo County Education Foundation receives $4,000 from McDonald's fundraiser - Tribune-Star staff report Oct 3, 2024

The Vigo County Education Foundation on Thursday received $4,000 from a fundraiser conducted by Terre Haute McDonald's restaurants.
In September, all five Terre Haute McDonald’s restaurants hosted a city-wide fundraiser for VCEF.
A percentage of purchases in the restaurant and on the McDonald’s app were calculated for the donation to support the Education Foundation’s mission of enriching education of Vigo County School Corp. students.
The funds will be used to help teachers infuse their classrooms with creativity, innovation and hands-on learning opportunities, through classroom and school wide grants and district wide programs.
All of these local McDonald’s are owned by Nick and Jami Kasprzyk, who are continuing supporters of local schools and teachers.
“The Vigo County Education Foundation is immensely grateful to the Kasprzyks and their McDonald’s patrons for their generosity and kindness," said Jane Nichols, executive director of the Education Foundation. "This gift is truly an investment — an investment in our community’s most valuable resource, the education of our children."
