Five nonprofits were awarded a total of $400,000 for their innovative support of troops, military families, and veterans.
The top winner, with a grant of $100,000, is the Caregiving Youth Student Leadership Program, part of the Military Child Education Coalition of Harker Heights, Texas.
“These are students who balance homework with hospital visits, who help care for a parent who is healing from injury or illness,”
said Mary Bier, president and CEO of the Military Child Education Coalition. Bier accepted the award during a ceremony in October.
