Recipients of funds include:
$5,000 to Kid in the Corner – Kid in the Corner is a nonprofit organization in Arizona dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and supporting those struggling with mental illness—providing access to resources, promoting kindness, and fostering a supportive community.
$7,500 to Alaska Legal Services Corporation (ALSC) – ALSC offers free civil legal services to low income and disadvantaged people, including veterans, to protect their safety, their health, and promote family stability—bridging the statewide gap between those who need civil legal help and those who are able to get it.
