Community donations to Measure Up, gathered at Giant Eagle and then from St. Paul Church, are sent directly to the Ohio Knights of Columbus. They keep a percentage for statewide programs and then send checks to whoever the organization locally requests. The check for Special Olympics was $480 and for Robert Bycroft $720 to be used as they see fit. The Salem Giant Eagle for the last several years has allowed the organization to set up a donation table at their entrance.
