TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Marana Unified School District (MUSD) is thanking the Stocker Foundation and Youth Education Supporters for helping raise over $19,000 for the Student and Family Services department.
District officials are also crediting about 100 community members for donating nearly $14,000 for helping fill 1,100 backpacks.
According to the district, the Stocker Foundation challenged MUSD supporters to match its $5,000 donation.
"Many others directed their donations to the S.O.S. (Success of Students) funds, which are used on an ongoing basis to provide everything from prescription glasses to field trip fees and more for those students most in need," the district shared.
