State Farm Donates Big $$$

Ancel Carlon of State Farm Insurance in Morrilton recently presented two checks to UACCM. The funds, along with matching gifts from the State Farm Foundation, totaled $5000 donated to the college. A portion of the funds will be utilized by the UACCM Foundation, which supports the college through the funding of programs, equipment, and facilities that may not be paid for through the general operating budget. The Foundation will place the donation into a general campus improvement fund, which will include beautification projects campus-wide.

The remaining funds will be used to purchase supplies and equipment for UACCM’s upcoming Kid’s College. Scheduled for July 20-24 at UACCM, Kid’s College will feature a full week of imagination, education, and fun for children who have completed kindergarten through third grades. UACCM Director of Community Outreach Aaron Spivey said “We never would have been able to provide such an exciting adventure for Kid’s College participants without this donation. We truly appreciate what State Farm has done for UACCM and for this program.” Programs for Kid’s College will include “A Trek Across the Serengeti” and “Knights, Damsels, and Castles.” For more information on Kid’s College, contact Aaron Spivey at (501) 977-2029 or at Spivey@uaccm.edu.
