On Monday at the Tippecanoe Valley School Board meeting, Mentone Elementary School Student Council member Lily Koch presented a donation of $5,000 to Stephanie Overbey, CEO of Kosciusko County Community Foundation.

KCRKF provides financial assistance to Kosciusko County families who have a child receiving care at Riley Children’s Hospital. The fund also provides direct support to Riley Children’s Hospital. The Student Council raised the money by hosting a coin war at the school where grade levels competed against each other for raising the most money in coins for the fund.

The Community Foundation is a public charity that grants $3 million annually in the areas of education, health, arts and culture, recreation, civic projects, environment and human services.
