"The Fred Meyer Foundation was particularly impressed by the successful track record of the All-Alaska Academy," said Fred Meyer and the Fred Meyer Foundation Philanthropy Coordinator Glynda Brockhoff. "We hope that this grant will help this program continue the important work it is doing to enrich student's lives. We are proud to be a part of Alaska and are committed to helping where we can. Social responsibility and community involvement are company priorities established by our founder, Fred. G. Meyer. Mr. Meyer said, 'To be a good neighbor, you must strive to be a good neighbor in all ways.' Financial support of non-profit organizations is just one of the ways Fred Meyer upholds this tradition."
