Coca-Cola UNITED awarded its annual Alabama PALS Campus Clean-Up Scholarship to Gadsden State Community College during a ceremony held Nov. 8 in Montgomery. Gadsden State collected more than 800 pounds of litter to earn the $1,000 scholarship.

Through education and annual anti-littering campaigns, Alabama PALS has partnered with Alabama couties, cities, communities, schools and other organization to enhance the Alabama environment by preventing littering and picking up litter.
