(SANILAC COUNTY) — Jim Johnson, Executive Director of Sanilac County Community Mental Health recently presented a check in the amount of $533.10 to the Human Development Commission for their Walk for Warmth program. The money was raised through the “Casual for a Cause” fundraiser where employees dress casually every other Friday in exchange for a $3 donation. The funds are then donated toward community initiatives that benefit the citizens of Sanilac County. Walk for Warmth raises money to assist individuals and families who are struggling with heating costs through the cold winter months. The fundraiser takes place in February.
Former recipients include the Sanilac County Humane Society, Eva’s Place, CPS Project Blessing, , Thumbs’ Up for Kids, United Hospice Service, Building Ties’ Walk to Remember Committee, Deckerville Project Blessing, the Sanilac County Child Advocacy Center, Countryside Free Methodist Church’s Raise the Roof project, the BCups program of Marlette Regional Hospital, The Blessing Garden, the Prevent Cancer Foundation, the Salvation Army, ISD Autism Walk, Shop With a Hero and the DHS Christmas Project.
