- Community: 50% of funds raised will be donated to local non-profit organizations in the communities we serve.
- Scholarships: $4,000 contributed each year in Military Honors Awards and Community Action Scholarships for graduating Seniors.

501(c)(3) Designation
Section 501(c)(3) is a portion of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and a specific tax category for nonprofit organizations. Organizations that meet Section 501(c)(3) requirements are exempt from federal income tax. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recognizes more than 30 types of nonprofit organizations but only those that qualify for 501(c)(3) status can say that donations made to them are tax deductible.
