Rim Country nonprofits and school programs suffered during the pandemic, but the Zane Grey Youth Advancement Committee (ZGYAC) came to the rescue for three with $2,000 donations.
The three recipients included the Payson Community Kidsâ after-school program and the archery programs at Payson Christian School and Pine-Strawberry Elementary School.
The organization raised the money for the donations from weekly drawings put on by Steve Miller at his auto shop on Main Street for the past five months. Coincidentally, the same time ZGYAC has existed.
But that fundraising success is not unheard of from this board, made up of John Bach, president; Steve Miller, vice president; Terese Bach, secretary; Calvin Henson, treasurer; and Dan Wile, fundraising committee. The five have worked together for years, raising impressive amounts of money for local childrenâs programs through their former group, the Friends of the NRA.
