Drug abuse prevention gets foundation's help

The Foundation for Roanoke Valley has made five grants to Roanoke Valley organizations to fight youth substance abuse.

Prevention Plus, a division of Mental Health Services of Roanoke Valley, received $400 to benefit its programs of information, education and support groups.

The donation came through Charles H. Fitch of Salem, who won $400 in the Crosby Golf Tournament and designated it for use in the Roanoke Valley.

The Winston-Salem Foundation, which administers the Crosby grants, asked the Foundation for Roanoke Valley to choose an appropriate charity that works to prevent drug abuse, and the foundation selected Prevention Plus.

The foundation's board of governors then decided to match the Crosby grant by donating $100 to each of four Roanoke Valley Drug Abuse Resistance Education programs: Roanoke, Roanoke County, Salem and Botetourt County.
