November 04, 2002
The International Wolf Center announced that they have received an
$8,000 educational grant from Target Corporation.
In a letter from Laysha Ward, Director of Target Corporation
Community
Relations and the Target Foundation, the International Wolf Center was
praised as an organization that makes “our communities a better place to
live and work.”
“The International Wolf Center is very honored to receive such a
generous gift from the Target Corporation. With their strong history of
community support, they are recognized as one of the most charitable and
responsibly run corporations in the world,” said Walter M. Medwid,
executive director of the Center. “This gift will help us to reach more
people with our educational messages supporting the conservation of wolves
and their wild lands,” said Medwid.
With a battery of educational tools, including an interpretive
center
in Ely, a magazine distributed worldwide, their participation in numerous
public forums and a Web site (www.wolf.org) with over 800 pages of
educational material, the International Wolf Center is regarded as the
world’s primary source of objective, science based wolf and wild lands
information.
The Target Corporation family of giving programs, comprised of
Target,
Marshall Field’s and Mervyn’s, is committed to giving back to the
communities in which their stores operate. This year alone, they will give
over $100 million to worthy nonprofit organizations nationwide.
