Character First Committee to fund banners via pillows and adoptions
The Character First Committee is raising funds to buy banners for spring and summer, converting old blue banners into signed pillows by Cavanaugh. Donors of 100 dollars receive a pillow while supplies last. Donations support adopting intersections with banners at corners. The project uses York Street clients from the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department and is aided by groups like the Women of Woodside. Dustin Turner is noted as Aiken Standard’s news editor.
