C&N recognized the importance of investing in local education with donations totaling $800,000 to area Educational Improvement, Scholarship and Pre-Kindergarten Scholarship Organizations.
These donations were made under the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC).
Education is key to a strong and prosperous community. However, there are many budgetary roadblocks preventing children from receiving the level of education they deserve.
C&N is committed to closing this gap by supporting local organizations that have made it their mission to ensure every child has access to educational opportunities.
