Thousands of voters across the nation voted in Tom’s of Maine’s “50 States for Good” program with just the click of a mouse. Genoa Central Parent Teacher Organization was one of the schools who will benefit from the program winning $20,000. From a pool of 51 finalists, public voting determined the six winning nonprofits that will share $150,000 in funding to support grassroots projects dedicated to healthy, human and environmental goodness. From serving the homeless and renovating play areas to building sustainable summit trails and providing alternative energy education, all winning organizations demonstrate the heart and determination of community nonprofit organizations to inspire lasting change in their communities.
