FORT WALTON BEACH — The Fort Walton Beach Employee Community Fund of the Boeing Company has awarded a grant of $7,000 to Children In Crisis Inc. to purchase computer and educational equipment for at risk children living at the Children’s Neighborhood.
The grant application was approved by the local community Boeing Employee Foundation. This is the fifth grant the company has made to help with CIC educational programs.
Ken Hair, CIC president and CEO, commented, “The donation was truly a blessing and came at a perfect time in our development of the Children’s Neighborhood. CIC provides a home to about 100 children every year and most are behind in school. This grant will be an enormous help with our tutoring and educational programs to get our kids back on track.”
