On September 27, 2023, the CRS team and its board members were joined by representatives from Walmart for the ceremony. During the past three years, Walmart has donated over $30,000 to support general programs hosted by the CRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cWe at the Council have been blessed with incredibly loyal sponsors and a wonderful board,\u201d said Doc Ogden, Chair, Board of Directors for CRS. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t be nearly as successful or be able to host half the programs we do if it weren\u2019t for Walmart\u2019s continued generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Programs produced by CRS include a bi-annual student competition; Meet the Experts, a speaker series featuring a panel of experts from specific industries; a bi-annual video essay competition alternately sponsored by Sherwin-Williams and Walmart; industry symposiums and more. The next program hosted by the CRS is their fall collegiate challenge, which will be held on the DeSales campus on October 12, 2023. The top team will receive $1,200 and a trophy. The second place team will be awarded $400 and a trophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CENTER VALLEY, Pa.
