General Manager Ed Motzkin (TDR) and staff present a $5,000 donation to the Salvation Army to provide books to underprivileged kids at Christmas. LHM CHARITIES NOVEMBER 2014 UPDATE Larry H. Miller (LHM) Charities is actively improving the communities where Miller companies conduct business by donating to charitable programs that benefit women and children in the areas of health and education. A contribution made in Idaho to Junior Achievement is benefiting children in the Boise area, where approximately 600 at-risk elementary school students are receiving financial literacy instruction. In Tucson, Arizona, a donation was granted to The Symphony Women’s Association to provide music lessons to low-income children. A contribution was also made to the Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse. In the Phoenix and Mesa markets, 10 local nonprofits received funding as part of a 10-days of Giving initiative. The Salvation Army’s Forgotten Angels program and Camp Incredible, a family-oriented program offered through the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS, were both beneficiaries. Other grant recipients include MentorKids, Upward, St. Mary’s Food Bank, A New Leaf, Arizona Brainfood, ICM Food & Clothing Bank, Desert Mission Food Bank and United Food Bank. In Colorado Springs, a contribution to The Home Front Cares is providing emergency aid to military personnel and families in need. Tessa’s Safehouse (a domestic violence shelter) and Catholic Charities of Central Colorado also received support. Donations were distributed in Denver to Children’s Hospital Colorado and Safehouse Denver. Boulder-area contributions were made to Attention Homes, which helps homeless youth, and the Second Wind Fund, which assists teens in crisis. LHM Charities is making an impact in Utah as well. Funding granted to the English Language Learning Center of Cache Valley is helping immigrant women become literate, and a donation to Friday’s Kids Respite is assisting families of children with disabilities. Support has also been provided to the University of Utah, Midvale Arts Council, North Davis Junior High School, Renaissance Academy, Teens Act, Polizzi Clinic, Gifted Music School and Salt Lake Acting Company. The Spokane general managers presented a check to the Union Gospel Mission to help fund their annual City-Wide Thanksgiving Dinner, and then helped serve the meal.
