The Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Beverage Association, in partnership with local beverage bottlers and the American Beverage Foundation for a Healthy America (ABFHA), announced today that it has made a $5,000 grant to the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay.
The contribution will be used to alleviate program costs for Girl Scouts unable to afford activity fees related to environmental stewardship programs.
“Our local beverage bottlers and the ABFHA are thrilled to support the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay,” said Ellen Valentino, Executive Vice President of the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Beverage Association. “COVID-19 has either curtailed or forced the cancellation of fundraising activities, including cookie sales. We are proud to make sure the girls can participate in these exciting programs.”
