Mall Names Winning Schools

The Mall at Wellington Green recently hosted its first Wellington Green Gives Back to Schools, a back-to-school shopping program that ran from Aug. 1 to Aug. 18, when shoppers could register their receipts at the Guest Services desk to earn money for local schools.

Every dollar spent was a point earned for the school of their choice. The three schools with the most points now will receive a cash donation of $2,500, $1,500 or $1,000 from the mall.

“We are excited to announce the winning schools of the Wellington Green Gives Back to Schools promotion, and deeply thank our community for coming out to shop and making their school count,” said Rachelle Crain, marketing and sponsorship director at the Mall at Wellington Green.

The school with the most points, which will receive the first-place prize of $2,500, is Emerald Cove Middle School. The runners-up were Elbridge Gale Elementary School, which will receive the second-place prize of $1,500, and Panther Run Elementary School, which will receive the third-place prize of $1,000.
