In move to share the wealth, the store donated $20,000 to Mark Twain Primary, a school with 650 students located across the street from the store. According to an H-E-B spokesperson, the school will earmark the donation for P.E. equipment, including baseball gear, soccer balls and other sports equipment used for active, outdoor sports.
The announcement was made during a celebration at the school on Thursday afternoon, with H-E-Buddy on hand to entertain students, and refreshments provided for teachers.
