Kohl's honors more than 2,000 volunteer kids

Kohl’s Department Stores honored more than 2,000 kids nationwide for the good deeds they performed in their communities through volunteerism as part of the Kohl’s Kids Who Care® Scholarship Program.

One hundred eleven youth from Ohio, including Justin Williams and Justin Schiessler of Springfield, will receive $50 gift cards and certificates from Kohl’s in recognition for making a difference in their communities.

These winners have qualified for the chance to receive a $1,000 regional scholarship for post-secondary education that Kohl’s will award in July. Of the regional winners, Kohl’s will then award 10 national winners an additional $5,000 scholarship for their outstanding service and donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization of the national winners’ choice. Overall, Kohl’s plans to award more than $350,000 in scholarships and prizes this summer.
