COLUMBIA – Lowe’s received more than 2,200 submissions to the 100 Hometowns program, which invited people across the country to nominate their hometown projects in need.
The Jeep Rogers Family YMCA, located at 900 Lake Carolina Drive, is one of the 100 impact projects that are the cornerstone of 100 Hometowns, an initiative to celebrate Lowe’s Home Improvement’s centennial.
“That our Jeep Rogers Family YMCA was one of the 100 selected projects out of 2,200 applications is simply amazing,” YMCA of Columbia CEO Bill Price said. “Jeff Casey, Director at the Jeep location, put in a lot of hard work and many hours applying and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be selected for this significant contribution.”
The 100 Hometowns program will complete 100 projects across 37 states that rebuild areas reeling from natural disasters, repair critical housing, restore beloved community centers, and revive green spaces.
The 100 Hometowns projects span urban, rural and suburban communities and will benefit an array of community members, from toddlers, teens and seniors to veterans, small business owners, students, and more.
“The Jeep Rogers YMCA is very excited to be chosen as one of the 100 Lowe’s Hometown grant recipients. These funds will go a long way in helping us upgrade our sports field, which will certainly make a positive impact on our youth sports and camp programs,” explains Jeff Casey, VP of Operations.
Details of every 100 Hometowns project and their progress can be found at the 100 Hometowns landing page and at #100Hometowns on social media.
