Two youth recognized for volunteer efforts

Kohl’s Department Stores recognized two youth from Wyandotte County today in its Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program.

The two were among 25 from Kansas who will each receive a $50 gift card and recognition certificate from Kohl’s to honor their community service efforts.

The two youth honored from Wyandotte County were Wyatt Caldwell, 8, Edwardsville; and Braden Korgol, 8, Bonner Springs.

They were among 2,300 youth honored nationwide for their volunteerism.

The local winners will compete in a regional competition in July to win a $1,000 scholarship for higher education. Then, regional winners will compete for a $10,000 national scholarship. Ten will be awarded in the nation.
