Dr. Chuck Schumacher presented a check for $2,600 to the Effingham Unit 40 Education Foundation at the EHS Hearts game on February 17.

Five years ago, Schumacher Orthodontics started the Smiles for Schools program, which donates $50 to the Unit 40 Education Foundation for each Effingham student who starts orthodontic treatment. Through the Smiles for Schools program, he has donated almost $30,000 to area schools.

The Education Foundation awards scholarships and teacher grants to students and teachers in Unit 40 schools.
