The Samaritan Center is grateful and would like to thank the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and the Ooltewah High School for partnering with us during the Great Turkey Race, a two week school-based fundraising campaign. The JROTC led by Major Dean, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Fleming, and First Sergeant McCullough held a ceremony on Thursday, November 21 to present the Samaritan Center with a check for $4,592.
“The students and JROTC played an active role in soliciting the donations, I’m proud of how well they did.” Said First Sergeant McCullough, who has been an instructor for the Ooltewah High School’s JROTC for 17 years.
Tony Dahlberg, executive director at the Samaritan Center accepted the check and thanked the JROTC and students, “This Donation will help many families in our community who are in need and the difference it makes in the community will be thanks to you all.”
