10 under 20: New Paltz student gets business to donate to schools - RecordOnline.com - The Times Herald Record: "The executive promised a change was going to come last fall. The company would make a donation on every sale of every item sold that bore the school's logo. It took several months and what seemed like some foot-dragging on the chain's part, but Torres' doggedness has paid off for his school and every other high school within sale range of Olympia's 167 shops.
'I know this won't make or break the athletic department, but I felt it was important that a local store should be willing to give,' he said.
The school recently received a check for $147 from Olympia. Peanuts, you may say. But, as Torres pointed out recently, another 200 schools also received donations.
'We're a very small school of only 700,' he said. 'So a rough guess would be maybe an average of $200 per school.'"
