BRANSON, Mo. \u2013 Hundreds of Taney County youth will benefit from the $1,000 donation presented on Tuesday to the not-for-profit Christian Action Ministries through the CenturyTel Clarke M. Williams Charitable Foundation. The funds will support the Clothe-A-Child Program.<\/p>\n
This is the 23rd year that CAM has sponsored the Clothe-A-Child program. It is part of the Taney County School Readiness Fair, a cooperative effort of CAM, Ozarks Area Community Action Corporation and the Salvation Army. Hundreds of children in need will receive a new outfit for school, improving self-esteem and enabling greater academic success.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Charitable Foundation was established by CenturyTel based on the belief that companies have an obligation to improve the quality of life where they do business,\u201d said Pamela Anderson, Marketing Communication Manager for South Missouri.<\/p>\n
Following the example set by Williams, the company\u2019s founder, the foundation contributes to projects that improve the well-being of people in need.
