Alene Candles donates $10K
April 11, 2019 – MILFORD CABINET
MILFORD – Building on its longstanding commitment to local community organizations, Alene Candles recently donated $10,000 to the Boys & GirlsClub of Souhegan Valley. These funds will be used to bolster the organization’s well-regarded Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM)program, including purchasing new equipment and providing unique, hands-on experiences for program participants.
“As a fellow member of the Milford area community, we thought it was extremely important to help members of the Boys & Girls Club develop a love for math and science,” said Rod Harl, president of Alene Candles. “Many of our scientists and engineers were introduced to their fields early on, following their passions to pursue higher education and secure meaningful work. This donation will allow countless Boys & Girls Club participants todo the same.”
The BGCSV primarily services communities in the Soughegan Valley, including Amherst, Brookline, Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock, Hollis, Lyndeborough, Milford, Mount Vernon, New Ipswich, Peterborough and Wilton.
“Alene Candles has been a generous partner of ours for more than 20 years,” said Mike Goodwin, executive director of the Boys & GirlsClub of Souhegan Valley. “This donation will help us introduce even more kids of all ages to science, technology, engineering, arts and math. Our project sand activities will spark curiosity in our younger students and help our teenage students discover the fields that interest them the most, maybe even leading them to a career path.”
