Schwartz Center Receives Support from CVS Caremark Charitable Trust
The Schwartz Center for Children recently received a $25,000 grant from the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust, the private foundation created by CVS Caremark Corporation, whose purpose is to help people on their path to better health by providing funding for health care, education and community involvement initiatives. The grant to the Schwartz Center for Children is part of $4.3 million in grants awarded to 98 nonprofit organizations across the country as part of the 2011 grant cycle and includes multi-year grants from previous years.
CVS’s Caremark Charitable Trust grant will support social skills instruction for children on the autism spectrum. Throughout the year, the Center runs groups based on age and/or level of development that give participants a chance to practice appropriate social behaviors or skills in real life settings with the assistance of the qualified staff.
“This generous gift from the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust allows us to offer these very critical services to our community” said Mary Hodgson, CEO of the Schwartz Center. “Social challenges can be critical to success at school, and later at work and overall quality of life. The CVS Caremark Charitable Trust is setting the groundwork so that these children can thrive in their relationships with their families, peers, and community. We can’t thank them enough”.
“We are so excited to help these non-profit organizations start 2012 in a positive way with much-needed funding,” said Eileen Howard Boone, Vice President, CVS Caremark Charitable Trust. “All of the non-profit organizations we support share our commitment to improving the lives of children with disabilities and we look forward to working with them in the year ahead.”
Thank you CVS Caremark Charitable Trust!
