Walter Stewart’s Drive for NCHS Scholarship Foundation

Walter Stewart’s Market is conducting its annual T-Bill Donation Days week to benefit the New Canaan High School Scholarship Foundation from Sunday, April 19th through Saturday, April 25th. Throughout the week, Walter Stewart’s customers are invited to donate “T-Bill” balances they earn shopping at the store. Walter Stewart’s will match the balances designated by shoppers with a monetary donation to the Foundation. Walter Stewart’s has been partnering with the NCHS Scholarship Foundation for 15 years.

Walter Stewart’s and their shoppers raised $1707,65 in 2014 and Alex Stewart estimates that they have donated close to $40,000 to the NCHS Scholarship foundation over the course of their 15 year partnership. The NCHS Scholarship Foundation is a longstanding community effort to provide need-based financial aid for NCHS graduates pursuing higher education.

The Donation Days T-Bill week is beginning on “Scholarship Sunday” April 19th. Students wearing T-shirts will go door-to-door in New Canaan to collect donations for the Foundation that will benefit their fellow students. Donations may be handed to the students that day, sent by mail to the NCHS Scholarship Foundation, New Canaan High School, 11 Farm Road, New Canaan, CT 06840, or made online at www.nchsscholarship.org.
