Leslie Temple, Board Chair of the Union County Community Foundation, presented the $3,000 grant to Ann Sherpick, Vice-President of the Green Dragon Foundation. According to Temple, “The Union County Community Foundation is delighted to assist the Green Dragon Foundation with this gift. The late Charles F. Lindig set aside a portion of his estate for the benefit of projects directed towards religious, charitable, educational, cultural, recreational or economic welfare of the Borough of Lewisburg. Mr. Lindig wanted this fund to serve as a living memorial to his grandparents, Charles F. Lindig and Sarah Bobb Lindig and to his parents, Fred W. Lindig and Nettie Walter Lindig. According to his will, he did this in grateful appreciation of the opportunities accorded to his family by the Community of Lewisburg.”
According to Ann Sherpick, Vice-President of the Green Dragon Foundation, the organization applied for funding to help launch the “On-Line Courses for Advanced Learning” program at Lewisburg Area High School. She adds, “We are so grateful to the Union County Community Foundation for approving our request. A grant such as this will help make this program a reality at the high school.”
Sherpick stated that the Foundation has been actively raising money for this innovative program through its PA EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) program. Sherpick adds, “The goal is to raise $25,000 and thanks to this grant, we are a little closer to achieving this. To date, the Foundation has raised $18,000 towards the implementation of this program.”
