For the second year, McDaniel & Company was a generous sponsor of the 2009 Education Grants Program for Kernersville school teachers. Below is an article written about the event.

On September 29th a "surprise patrol" from the Kernersville Chamber of Commerce visited the classrooms of 22 Kernersville teachers, announcing they had received one of the chamber Education grants. The presentation was done in front of the students who will benefit from the teacher's willingness to go "above and beyond" and seeking funding for new learning techniques.

This year's grant process is a remarkable success story. In a difficult economy, chamber businesses stepped up to contribute to the annual fund raising effort. Knowing we were not likely to raise the necessary funds to ensure one grant per school, 15 member restaurants offered to contribute a portion of their sales from three specific days this summer. Their support put us well over the top. And, another business -- Paper Sassy -- initiated a new arts based grant to the schools. As a result, in a "down year," we provided multiple grants per each school. The same economy that is affecting our businesses also hits our schools as well. What a blessing it was to be able to distribute more support than ever before.
