The board of directors of Communities In Schools of Rowan County has been busy this past six months garnering contributors to the agency’s annual fundraising campaign. Many new businesses and other nonprofit agencies have made donations of $200 up to $2,000.

Parks CPA, Piedmont Footings, CAC Plumbing, Countrywide Services, Pinocchio’s Italian Restaurant, Eddie Hampton Rentals, Quick Copy Print Shop, M & M Heating and Air and F&M Trolley System.
The funding received will be used to support Communities In Schools’ mission to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Communities In Schools is a United Way agency and also receives support from the Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation, Margaret C. Woodson Foundation, Salisbury Community Foundation, Rowan-Salisbury Schools, CISNC and CISNational as well as many generous citizens of Rowan County.
