Sober Corps will receive a $10,000 Challenge grant from Hennepin County.  The grant comes though their outreach and volunteer division.  The intention of the grant is to help Sober Corps expand its awareness in the Twin Cities in hopes of attracting more program participants, volunteers and funders.  Sober Corps has an aggressive $100,000 budget in 2010 and intends on using this Hennepin County grant to leverage more support.
You can help Sober Corps to meet the challenge through a donation.  Please go to the Donate page.

Some of you already know that Gethsemane Episcopal Church’s parish hall houses the Malik Sealy “Gym of Dream.”  Malik played for the Minnesota Timberwolves.  He was killed by a drunk driver in a head-on collision in May of 2000. The gymnasium was refurbished and dedicated to Malik by the Timberwolves in 2001.
Sober Corps has a great tie-in to help put a focus on the need to curtail drunk driving.  On February 27th Sober Corps will hold a 3-on-3 tournament in the "Gym of Dreams."  For more information, contact us today!  (612) 767-4360.
