Lowe’s Donates Money for E & A Rail Trail Suspension Bridges
Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation has awarded a $25,000 grant to Elkin Valley Trails Association. The grant will be used for the building of two 90-foot suspension footbridges over Elkin Creek on the Elkin & Allegheny Rail-Trail. The funds will help expand the existing trails and greenways to Stone Mountain State Park. Marshall Croom, chairman of Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation, shows that Lowe's understands the importance of and supports the efforts that enrich the lives of their customers and neighbors.
Marshall Croom states “By supporting organizations like the Elkin Valley Trails Association, we believe we are contributing to a cause that’s important to our customers and employees and helping build a stronger foundation for the children who will be tomorrow’s employees, homeowners and community leaders.”
North Carolina Rail-Trails is the fiscal sponsor of the Elkin Valley Trails Association.
