Nexstar Inc. and the Nexstar Legacy Foundation launched a new
Community Service Award program that acknowledges Nexstar’s member companies for
giving back to the communities that helped make them successful. The 2008
Community Service Award goes to Horizon
Services of New Castle, Del.
Nexstar
recently honored Horizon Services
for establishing its “Warm The Heart Foundation,” a non-profit
organization providing replacement furnaces to needy families. This year, “Warm
The Heart Foundation” has a goal to purchase and install enough furnaces to
warm 15 homes that would have likely gone through winter cold. Over the past
three years, they’ve installed 39 new heating systems at no cost to
economically distressed families in the area.
The
Nexstar Community
Service award included a $1,000 donation from Nexstar to the
Warm the Heart Foundation.
Other Nexstar member companies considered for the Community
Service Award included those who contributed to the efforts of Make-a-Wish,
Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, churches, YMCA, 4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts,
Extreme Makeover, and many others.
