“We are always looking for ways to improve the current
school bag program,” Zimmerman said. “We want
to try to use the healthiest food possible, but that can
sometimes be more expensive. So we are hopeful this
money will allow us to put the healthiest options in (the
bags) to help students with nutrition as well.”
But, Zimmerman said, Care to Learn has its own
supporters, too. And support for Care to Learn Nixa is
support for students in need.
“Dave and Amy Koenigsfi eld, who allowed us to use
(Laurel Arena) virtually free of charge, put in a tremendous
amount of work; Amy is on the planning committee,”
Zimmerman said. “They spend countless hours
preparing. The venue itself kind of makes the event …
(Care to Learn Nixa) is so grateful for all they do and
their continuous support.”
Boots and Bling is a fundraiser
for Care to Learn Nixa. This year
the event, held Sept. 16, raised
more than $40,000.
