$85,000 in 2011
January 14th, 2012We wanted to share some good news - our iYERP metal recycling partnership generated over $85,000 for Idaho youth in 2011!! This is a 68% increase over the previous year ($50,000), and a ridiculous-percent increase compared to the returns in 2007 ($7,600), 2008 ($11,400), and 2009 ($20,938).
The $85,000 generated will be coupled with personal and corporate grants/donations, putting together our greatest grant giving year ever. We’ll be in touch again soon with the announcement of grant totals and grant recipients for 2012.
Happy New Year & Happy Scrapping!
