FRESNO (KMJ) – PG&E handing over a check to the City of Fresno Parks Department.
The 30,000 dollar grant will fund two programs including ‘Movies in the Park.’
“The City of Madera does a similar program with ‘Movies in the Park’ where they offer free movies, sometimes they will have snacks, for families to go out typically on a Friday night – it’s just a low cost entertainment option for families with small children.” – Denny Boyles, PG&E Spokesperson.
PG&E’S funds also help pay for running area Cooling Centers where people can go to escape the heat when temperatures exceed 105 degrees.
With this grant, PG&E will have awarded the Fresno Parks Department $196,000 for Cooling Center operations since 2007.
PG&E has also granted $126,800 to the Fresno Parks Department in the last decade to help provide safe outdoor activities to area youth.
PG&E grant money headed next to Sanger, Fowler and Merced.
