Georgia Power Makes Donation to Reinhardt University

Georgia Power recently made a $3,000 donation to Reinhardt University’s A DAY campaign.

The Acampaign is an annual effort to provide support for Cherokee County students attending the Waleska-based higher education institution.

“Reinhardt appreciates the support from businesses like Georgia Power,” said Dale Morrissey, Reinhardt’s director of fund raising campaigns and church relations. “This allows students to benefit with scholarships from the monies raised. Without these types of donations and support it would not be possible for many of our students to continue their educational endeavors. The satisfaction is knowing that you have helped a student with their educational goal.”

Created in 1988, A DAY helps to fund the University’s Cherokee County Grant Program. This grant gives eligible students the opportunity to receive as much as $8,000 during their four years at the University.

Since A DAY’s inception, more than $3 million in Cherokee County grants have been awarded to local deserving students. For more information about A DAY, visit www.reinhardt.edu/advancement ​
