Giving Made Simple: During a Giving Made Simple campaign, which ran from April 8 to May 2, Sam’s Club members and associates voted to determine how $4 million in charitable giving should be distributed among eight nonprofit organizations. Junior Achievement USA drove the most online votes during the campaign to win $500,000, of which Mahoning Valley Junior Achievement received an $8,000 grant. The grant will allow the youth development nonprofit organization to expand its educational programs. At the conclusion of the campaign, from left, Doug Duncan and Steve Lucente, from Sam’s Club in Boardman, present a huge facsimile of the check to Michele Merkel, JA president.
