Lynn Camp High School Chamber Choir has received a $5,000 Spark Good Community Grant from the Walmart Distribution Center in London.
The grant was awarded during the choir’s annual Veterans Day performance at the distribution center, where choir members were pictured with Walmart team members as they received a commemorative check.
The funds will help cover expenses for the choir’s upcoming musical production, performance shirts, travel, music, equipment, and accompanist fees.
Choir teacher Jackie Melton shared that outside donations are especially important for maintaining the program and providing students with continued musical opportunities.
The choir has performed annually at the distribution center’s Veterans Day ceremonies. During the ceremonies, the Knox County JROTC presents the colors, and the Lynn Camp Chamber Choir performs the National Anthem and two additional patriotic songs. Performances are held for employees on both weekday and weekend shifts.
