Co-Lin is proud to announce the receipt of two grants from Walmart Supercenter of Brookhaven and Walmart Distribution Center. These contributions will enhance the college’s art and music programs, enriching student learning and growth.

Walmart Supercenter of Brookhaven presented a $1,500 grant to the Co-Lin Blue Wave Show Band during Walmart’s grand re-opening in November. Director of Bands Chad Austin was on hand to receive the check during the ceremony. The funds will be used to acquire new equipment, supporting the continued effort to enhance the fine arts department at Co-Lin.

In addition, Walmart Distribution Center awarded a $1,000 grant to support a unique art education initiative aimed at teaching students how to use art as a communication tool. This program will empower students to convey messages and stories through visual language.
