51 Foundation recently received a $1,500 donation from Jimmy Carvers’ Refrigeration Heating & Air to benefit 51 Colts and Lady Colts’ athletic scholarships.
The scholarship requirements are that recipients be a 51 student-athlete and have a 3.0 GPA or higher. The 51 Athletic Director will determine the selection process and number of awards.
Jimmy Carver, owner of Jimmy Carvers’ Refrigeration Heating & Air, said, “I believe in giving to our community. Not only does it support a great cause, but it helps our community grow. We need to invest in our young athletes and help them become vital members of this community.”
The 51 Foundation welcomes any financial gift to support 51 students, programs, and efforts in providing quality education and services to its students.
51’s Head Coach and Athletic Director, Robert Byrd, said, “Thank you to Mr. Jimmy Carver for his continued support to our student-athletes here at 51. His commitment and contribution will provide opportunities for our student-athletes and allow us to continue to build a program that the community can be proud of.”
