Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan is grateful for a donation of $8,100 from the Rochester Hills Government Youth Council. Sixteen Rochester Hills high-school students comprise the council that held a charitable 5K run/walk to benefit Assistance League’s philanthropic programs that clothe, feed, educate and comfort infants, children and adults in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
Assistance League members Betty Zych, VP Fund Development (L), and Rosemary Dirksen, President, gratefully accept a check for $8,100 from Leanne Scott, Rochester Hills Deputy Clerk (R), on behalf of the Rochester Hills Government Youth Council
“We are so thankful to be chosen by this remarkable group of teens who have recognized the needs within our communities. We appreciate their compassion to help others,” said Assistance League President Rosemary Dirksen.
The Youth Council began in 2005 to promote youth involvement in local government through active participation and exchange of ideas and experiences. Their annual 5K is a hallmark charitable event that allows local teens to contribute to the betterment of their community.
