July 11, 2013

Cousins Subs' Make it Better Foundation has awarded King Advisory Inc. a $1,000 grant to help purchase school supplies for Milwaukee County (Wis.) youth as part of the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Back to School Festival.

The festival will take place this year on Aug. 10 in Milwaukee.

"The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Back to School Festival has provided over 16,000 book bags filled with school supplies to Milwaukee's children over the past 18 years," said Christine Specht-Palmert, president and COO at Cousins Subs and president of the Make It Better Foundation. "Youth education is one of our foundation's major focus areas. We are excited to help fulfill King Advisory's mission in helping Milwaukee County's youth by providing low-income and disadvantaged youth with the school supplies they need to start their school year off right."

The Make it Better Foundation was established earlier this year and includes three areas of interest: health and wellness, hunger and youth education.
