Scores for Schools Program Earns Money for 16 Local Schools

KANKAKEE, IL (February 4, 2014) – The 2014 sports seasons should look a little brighter for area schools who participated in Riverside's Scores for Schools program. Riverside Medical Center was proud to present the schools with $9,355.

The program saw a few changes recently with the addition of girls' varsity volleyball. Schools were now able to earn $25 for every home varsity touchdown scored if they have a football team and $20 for ever home varsity volleyball game won. For schools that do not have a football program, the varsity soccer team earned $10 for every varsity goal scored at home.
