JCPenney Afterschool Dynamic Partnership Powers the Potential of Girls' Lives
The JCPenney Afterschool Fund, administered by the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, has awarded significant scholarship funds and almost 900 gift cards to Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan Dallas. In an effort to provide access to families who lack sufficient funds for their girls, age 6 to 18 to attend after school child care programs, JCPenney is making a real difference. This grant, valued at $27,000 plus gift cards, will serve 898 girls with gift cards and financial assistance to participate at Girls Inc. Centers and outreach programs. |
