Last night I was able to give away 2 Grants from the TYLER SMITTY SMITH MEMORIAL endowment fund. Thank you to The Rochelle Area Community Foundation ! We wouldnt be able to do this without them …
Tyler’s fund was able to fully fund two requested grants from non profits locally …
The 1st grant was in the amount of $700 to the 4C-community child care for an outdoor adventure Event !
The 2nd grant was given to Tilton Elementary School in the amount of $1,068 for the Dual Language Immersion Program
This is our 5th and 6th grant we have been able to give out since we started to continue Tyler’s legacy
If you ever wonder where the money goes for The Tyler Smitty Smith 5k it’s to Fund Grant’s like these and to RTHS students for college scholarships !
We are so happy to be able to have the opportunity to give back to something so positive in Tyler’s honor and to be able to give back by keeping his legacy alive means the world to me ..
Tyler is so deeply missed and out of my Love for him I want him to be remembered in a positive light.. He was hired as a police officer, a public service job. He loved to help others , and that’s what we will continue to do in his honor by giving back to the community and those who were so close to his heart ..
Stayed tuned 2 RTHS SCHOLARSHIPS will be given away to 2 students in just a few days
This will be our 13th and 14th scholarships we have given in less than 7 years ….
