A Northern Michigan group working to improve the lives of kids in Cadillac is getting a boost from the Rite Aid Foundation.

Never Down For The Count Youth Services was selected to participate in the 2020 KidCents program.

Each year, the program supports a group of nonprofit, kid-focused organizations.

On top of that, Never Down For The Count got a $5,000 grant.

The organization says that money will help with their mentoring-based program, the Cadillac Boxing Club. It will also help them expand their services.

“Our goal is to get a larger facility so we can start doing some after school programming, fitness, education, life-skill mentoring, community service,” Coach Dana Wilson says. “And so grants like this that come in from Rite Aid not only help us with our current mentoring program, but really help us in our next steps forward towards expanding.”

The Rite Aid Foundation welcomed a total of 481 nonprofits to the 2020 KidCents class, which is the largest ever.
