BACKGROUND
Gaston County’s Community Child Protection and Child Fatality Teams were nominated for the GlaxoSmithKline Foundation Child Health Award for their work to reduce infant sleep related deaths. The team attended the awards luncheon on September 27, 2023 and was announced as one of the winners. In addition to a plaque, a $10,000 monetary grant was presented along with the award letter. Funding from this award can be used for the Community Child Protection and Child Fatality Teams special projects, staff development or program educational materials.
Approval of this Board Action and BCR appropriates the $10,000 in FY24 so the funds can be expensed for the appropriate use.
