"Jennifer was familiar with our Grant Application from the donation the Odd Fellows and Rebekah’s made to the Lincoln Heat Baseball team in the past," said Klockenga.

Shaw explained the program to Irwin, who in turn wrote the letter and provided application information to the Odd Fellows and Rebekah's. The group then reviewed the information and decided to award the grant to the school for the uniforms.

Chester-East Lincoln joins the list of award recipients that includes: Lincoln Youth Football, Lincoln Heat Baseball, Carroll Catholic School, Christian Child Care, Lincoln Park District--Skate Park, Beason -- Gee Family Playground.
