The Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday announced the Kids ‘N Community Foundation has donated a total of $560,000 in cash grants to 29 children’s charitable organizations in North Carolina throughout the 2016-17 season.
The grant cycle brings the Foundation and team’s donation totals to more than $14 million in cash and in-kind services since 1997. The Foundation will celebrate its 2016-17 grant cycle recipients at the Hurricanes’ game Thursday at PNC Arena against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
GOAL (Growing Opportunities and Leaders) Grants were introduced by the Kids N’ Community Foundation in 2012 and are distributed in $50,000 increments, for a total of $150,000 over three years, to six organizations.
