The Ballston Area Community Center (BACC) has received a $2000 grant from the Adirondack Trust Co. Community Fund for its 2023 Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program. The grant monies will be used to fund the use of Chromebook and/or iPad technology in the UPK classroom.
BACC board member Molly Pezzulo attended a reception at Longfellow’s Restaurant in Saratoga Springs on Dec. 1 and was honored to accept a check on behalf of the BACC.

The 36th annual Stewart’s Holiday Match Campaign kicked off on Thanksgiving Day and runs through Christmas day at all shop locations.
The program supports nonprofit organizations impacting children. To date, it has raised nearly $34 million for children’s charities.
Last year, customers donated over $1 million to the program, doubling to more than $2 million with the Stewart’s match. The funds were able to support 1,716 local children’s organizations across the 32 counties where Stewart’s Shops are located.
Local organizations impacting children are encouraged to apply for funding online. The deadline for submission is Jan. 31. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18, and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization.
All donations are tax-deductible. Stewart’s accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only matches individual donations.
