Twelve Roanoke Valley community agencies will receive $7,250 from the Salem Rotary Club.

The money comes from funds raised through the club's annual sponsorship of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference basketball tournament. The tournament fund-raiser has provided more than $100,000 in grants to community agencies in the last 10 years.

Agencies receiving grants this year include the Bradley Free Clinic, Foster Care Coalition, Boy Scouts of America, American Lung Association, Salem's DARE program, Association for Retarded Citizens, the Arts Place at Old First, Salvation Army, Child Abuse Prevention Council, Institutional Chaplaincy Fund, City Rescue Mission and the West End Center.

This year's ODAC tournament is scheduled for this weekend at the Salem Civic Center.
