We are excited to share that the Carmel Education Foundation received a $5,000 grant from First Merchants Corporation as part of their pledge to communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This came as a total surprise- certainly the best kind of surprise! A special thank you to CEF Board Member Ryan Mooney and Anna Brouwer, Carmel Banking Center Manager, for making this possible! As part of this $1 Million initiative, regional presidents were able to request funds for organizations they currently support which have an emphasis on serving communities impacted by the pandemic. Because of Ryan and Anna's advocacy, and our continued partnership with Carmel Clay Schools, this grant will support CEF in being part of the evolving delivery of education in this “new world” ! #FirstMerchants #CarmelEducationFoundation #myccs
