Mentone Elementary Students Raise Money for Kosciusko County Riley Kids Fund
On April 19th at the Tippecanoe Valley School Board meeting, Mentone Elementary School Student Council member Lily Koch presented a donation in the amount of $5,000 to Stephanie Overbey, CEO of Kosciusko County Community Foundation. The donation was designated for the Kosciusko County Riley Kids Fund (KCRKF), a component fund of the community foundation.
KCRKF provides financial assistance to Kosciusko County families who have a child receiving care at Riley Children’s Hospital.
The fund also provides direct support to Riley Children’s Hospital. The Student Council raised the money by hosting a coin war at the school where grade levels competed against each other for raising the most money in coins for the fund.
