Daily Do Good: Recovered Yearbook Leads To $1M Donation For Alabama School

An act of kindness really paid off for the Marion Military Institute in Alabama. A former student reached out to the school looking for a copy of a 1969 yearbook after he lost his. They didn’t have an extra one around, but a few weeks later, another graduate coincidentally found a box of yearbooks from MMI at a thrift store and donated them to the school.

As fate would have it, there was a 1969 yearbook in the collection and the school mailed it to the former student,Dr. George Rapier. Grateful for the gift, he reached out to school officials about making a donation to the school, the first he’s ever made. And they were shocked when they received a check from him for $1-million!

“A million-dollar check isn't something you see every day. That's for sure,” says Colonel David Mollahan, Marion Military Institute President. “It was a good way to reinforce why being good and being kind and saying nice things to people and just helping them out can come back and really give you something back that you hadn't expected.”
