RED DEER- The Sutter Fund has donated $10,000 to the Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools lunch programs.

The division would also like to thank the generosity of Central Alberta for raising money to support the program at the annual Sutter Fund golf tournament.

“I would like to say we are extremely pleased to donate funds to the lunch programs at schools in our community. Our mandate for the Sutter Fund has always been to supply funding for youth athletic programs in Central Alberta, which we have done for the last 19 years. This year, as a family and as a committee, we really felt a need to help kids that would possibly never have an opportunity to play any sports due to family dynamics, so we decided we would feel good knowing these kids had food in their bellies at school every day,” said Connie Sutter at the Sutter Fund.

With the $10,000, the division is able to extend the school lunch program further and support even more students.

“We are really grateful for the Sutter Fund’s donation. Research shows students learn better and are able to achieve the goals of education when they have eaten a healthy meal. Our division’s focus is to help support the whole child, spiritually, academically, physically and socially. This can be achieved through the school lunch program,” said RDCRS Associate Superintendent of Faith Development and Division Support, Ryan Ledene.
