DULUTH, Ga., April 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Georgia United Foundation, in partnership with Georgia United Credit Union, is excited to announce five grant recipients for the 2022 Georgia United Foundation School Crashers program. School Crashers is one of the foundation's largest community service programs that offers schools across the state an opportunity to apply for a school facility makeover. The program strengthens communities by supporting local school systems with the end goal of improving the learning environment for the students, faculty and staff.

The School Crashers nomination period opened in February to all accredited K-12 schools in Georgia. Interested schools were asked to include a photograph along with a 250-word essay describing why their school should receive a makeover. Nominations were received from 29 school systems and after a rigorous judging process, five schools have been slated to receive school improvements over the summer.

"We are looking forward to serving our communities and strengthening our school systems through the ninth annual School Crashers program," shared Debbie Smith, president and CEO of Georgia United Credit Union. "The Georgia United Foundation, credit union team members, generous donors, community partners and volunteers make this a fun community service event, where we provide inspiring learning spaces for the students, faculty and staff. We want the students to be proud of their school and motivated to learn when they return in the fall."
