Rite Aid CEO of Stores and President of Rite Aid Corporation Ken Martindale, who also serves as president of The Rite Aid Foundation, and Major Dan Rooney, CEO and Founder of Folds of Honor, will kick off the month of recognition by presenting 18 students from the greater Virginia Beach area with scholarships totaling $90,000. The presentation took place recently at the Rite Aid store located at 897 Lynnhaven Parkway in Virginia Beach at 10 a.m.
“There’s no better place for us to start our month-long recognition of the KidCents scholarships recipients than Virginia Beach, a community that holds the men and women who serve our country, and their families, in the highest regard,” said Martindale. “I know I speak for Rite Aid associates everywhere when I say that to have an opportunity to meet the young scholars and their families, and to hear their stories and listen to them talk about their educational aspirations, is truly an honor. The Rite Aid Foundation is proud to be able to support these students and we look forward to celebrating their continued successes through our partnership with Folds of Honor.”
