High schools encouraged to apply for funding

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Local high schools are invited to submit a grant proposal for United Way of the River Cities’ Big Cover Up youth project.

High school groups can apply for funds to help purchase warm winter clothing, such as coats, hats, gloves, shoes and socks for elementary or middle school children. These groups must match United Way funds through fundraising efforts and/or discounts or seek in-kind contributions. Each group must have a faculty sponsor. The project, however, must be youth-led.

The application is available by contacting the United Way office at 304-523-8929, ext. 104 or by emailing laura.gilliam@unitedwayrivercities.org. Grant applications must be emailed, mailed, or faxed to United Way of the River Cities no later than 11:59 p.m., Friday, Nov. 15. United Way of the River Cities will not accept any late submissions.

The 2012 Big Cover Up reached more schools and students than in years past, thanks to an anonymous donor and a matching grant from DirecTV. More than 350 students participated, helping more than 180 elementary and middle school-aged children. This is the 14th year that United Way of the River Cities has provided this funding.
