Mako Medical Labs is matching contributions up to $10,000 made to the Vance County Public School Foundation, so now it’s up to interested individuals and other businesses and organizations to step up to help achieve this goal.
“We are excited to announce a strong business-education alliance between Mako Medical Labs and the Vance County Public School Foundation,” Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce President Michele Burgess said in a recent statement to WIZS News. “Both are very active members of the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce and we want to help promote this collaboration.”
A donation to the foundation now will have double the impact, Burgess noted.
Dr. Abidan Shah, pastor of Clearview Church in Henderson, chairs the foundation, which has supported various initiatives in the local school system for more than 25 years. Those initiatives include teacher leadership training, teacher mini grants, student academic growth success, the Student Spotlight program, bringing the NC Symphony to Vance County to speak and perform for elementary students, awarding National Certified teachers, and the Arts Alive event.
