August was a busy month for Team McCoy. In addition to several sponsorships and donation opportunities in support of the communities we serve, there were several chamber of commerce events that allowed us to connect with the local business community.
Let's Kick Asthma Foundation, Benefit Gala
McCoy sponsored the Let's Kick Asthma Foundation Benefit Gala on August 7 to bring asthma patients and their loved ones together while raising funds and awareness for the nonprofit's initiatives. The Foundation is an important resource for asthma patients. It's a place where they can lean on the support of others who understand what they're going through while utilizing outreach services that assist with paying for medication, provide access to medical professionals who can address their questions and much more.
Lancaster Elementary School, Back to School Donation
Each year, McCoy donates supplies to students at Lancaster Elementary School to set them up for a successful school year. On August 10, the staff at Lancaster was excited to see the unpacked boxes holding 160 composition books, 960 pencils, 120 packs of crayons, 312 folders, over 1,600 zip lock bags, 432 dry erase markers, 480 batteries, 720 colored pencils and 2 full cases of paper.
