ORANGE BEACH, Ala. -- The teachers, students and administrations of the public schools in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach now have a new fundraising partner.

Winston and Tiffany Nelson, owners of Yogurt Plus, a frozen yogurt business in Orange Beach, has partnered with the Coastal Baldwin Educational Enrichment Foundation, Inc. and committed to donate 10 percent of their proceeds on the first and last Wednesdays of each month to the Foundation.

“We are committed to this community and are impressed by the quality of life,” Winston Nelson said. “CBEE is an avenue for us to express our support for all four public schools on the island. Its mission and accomplishments are in line with our values and leverages our donation to make significant difference in the lives of all of the students in our community.”

“Partnerships with area businesses is the only way CBEE is successful,” CBEE Vice President Fred Penniger said. “We are recruiting businesses to be a part of our partnership program at a level that is beneficial to them as well as our island schools.”

“CBEE’s partnership with area businesses is vital to our success,” CBEE Foundation President Yolanda Devine Johnson said. “We are elated to have The Nelsons in our community and appreciate their community involvement, and we encourage everyone to come out to Yogurt Plus on the first and last Wednesdays of each month to support our island schools and have a tasty treat.”

Yogurt Plus is located in the Wal-Mart shopping center at 25241 Perdido Beach Blvd. in Orange Beach. They are open until 9:30 nightly. To contact Yogurt Plus, call 974-1900 or see their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/YOGURT-PLUS.
