Local McDonald's Makes Donation to Trenton HS Athletics

TRENTON, Mich. (January 11, 2018) – A team from Trenton’s local McDonald’s restaurant visited the high school’s boys basketball game on Tuesday (January 9) to present a donation to support the school’s athletic program. The team from the restaurant at 3355 West Road presented a $100 check to Kelly Miller, Supervisor of Winter Athletics at Trenton High School, before tip-off of the game against Melvindale.

In addition to the donation, McDonald’s also shared information about the benefits of a job for young people at the local restaurant, including the Archways to Opportunity education access program that offers tuition assistance to pursue college degrees.

“A big part of our commitment to being America’s Best First Job is to provide access to education that can help people realize their dreams,” said Gary Granader, owner/operator of the West Road McDonald’s. “Archways to Opportunity is just one aspect of what a job at McDonald’s can offer to employees. When you pair that with world-class training, flexible schedules, and experience in job and life skills that transcend different areas of work, you can find McDonald’s ‘alumni’ across the country who are successful in other careers. They tell us very positively that what they learned working at McDonald’s prepared them for the work they’re doing now. That’s a very special kind of impact.”
