Mayor Bryant announces Robbins United back‑to‑school giveaways and Brodie Scholarship gift cards
Summary
Mayor Darren E. Bryant announced two Robbins United back‑to‑school giveaway events on Aug. 7 and Aug. 15 and said the Brodie Scholarship Fund will distribute 100 $50 Walmart gift cards to qualifying recent high‑school graduates who can show proof of enrollment.
Mayor Darren E. Bryant told the board July 27 that Robbins United will host two back‑to‑school giveaway events: Aug. 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Robbins Community Center (13800 Trumbull Ave.) and Aug. 15 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Turner Elementary School (3827 W. 135th St.).
Mayor Bryant said the Brodie Scholarship Fund will provide 100 $50 Walmart gift cards to Robbins residents who are high‑school graduates entering college, trade or vocational school; recipients or a parent must provide proof of enrollment to receive a card. The mayor presented this as an outreach and support effort for students pursuing further education.
No formal board vote is recorded for the giveaways or the scholarship distribution in the minutes; they were presented as mayoral announcements during the administrative report.
