On November 26, three Moody area youth received grants from the Tawny Martin Memorial Foundation’s (TMMF) “All God’s Creatures” program. The three recipients, Macayla Murphy, Shyanne Bly and Dusty Ray Ward each will use their grants to pursue agricultural projects (raising pigs and rabbits for show) at Moody High School and Moody Elementary.
Macayla, Shyanne and Dusty were selected from applications submitted to the TMMF prior to November. A group of volunteers rated the applications and the TMMF Board selected the three awardees based on these ratings.
The “All God’s Creatures” program will be offered each year by the TMMF and is open to any project by youth (anyone less than 19 years old) which fosters a sense of custodianship of animals in youth. The program offers grants and loans to kids in support of the various projects.
