I am excited to share that Chandler Herndon, a youth from Bennettsville, has been recognized with a $1,000 scholarship toward higher education by the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program for making a positive impact in his community through volunteerism.

Six years ago, Chandler, who was born three months premature, was asked to serve as the Ambassador for the March of Dimes. That’s when Chandler started his fundraising team Chandler’s Chain Gang raising more than $40,000 for the March of Dimes.
