On Saturday, Sept. 9, Nothing Nu performed a benefit concert for the REACH college scholarship at the American Legion. Oglethorpe County School System raises $10,000 each year for five academically promising eighth graders demonstrating a financial need, which is matched by $40,000 from REACH Georgia. After four years of mentorship through high school, the students receive the $10,000 scholarship when they enroll in college. The concert— which also included food and a silent auction— raised $2,791, enough for almost one and a half full scholarships. Oglethorpe County Schools will continue to raise money for REACH throughout the year, and donations can be made directly at https://donate.reachgafoundation.org/.
