This fall, guests who attended Washington Demon events at Case Field may have noticed new signage on the face of the press box. What they may not know is that the project was funded through a donation from Mahaska Bottling Company’s Dew It For Your School Program. 

Chris Kuesel, Route Manager for Mahaska Bottling Company, explained to KCII how the program works to benefit area schools. “Thirty cents of all cases we sell in our ten-county area of twenty-ounce packages and one-liter packages goes into a fund. All the schools that sell Mahaska products, their percentage of sales against the other schools allocates on what Mahaska can give to each school”

Thanks to this program, the Washington Community School District received a $12,000 donation to help with the press box project. Along with Washington, Jefferson and Keokuk counties are among the ten in southeast Iowa eligible to participate. 

The Dew It For Your School Program was developed in 1997 with the goal of enhancing learning experiences for students in the many programs and activities that their schools provide.
