Everett and Dave accept the check

 

On Friday, September 23, Wal-Mart store #2924 (at Coors Blvd. and I-40) presented ACCH with a $2,500 check as a part of the Re-Grand Opening Celebration of their newly-remodeled store.  We are very grateful to Wal-Mart, both locally and corporate, for their support over the years.  Remember that when you shop at Wal-Mart, you not only get good prices on a great selection of products, but you also help to support the Wal-Mart Foundation which, in turn, helps to support non-profits in our community.
