Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund
Knapp Ford
establishes an annual scholarship to help scholar athletes
Dave Knapp Ford joins the Senior Scribes family of annual scholarship
donors to help Darke County teens achieve their college goals.
“I have always been a part of the community and I believe in giving
back to the community. The community has been good to me,” Knapp said
in making the donation to Senior Scribes volunteer and County News
Online Sports Editor George Starks.
As a Business Sponsor, Knapp has chosen to help Darke County athletes
who have not only excelled academically but also in their chosen
athletic pursuits. Two checks will be presented – one each to a boy and
a girl - at a later date. Jenna Dowler, GHS graduate who excelled in
Girls Basketball will be the female recipient. The male recipient will
be announced when the checks are presented.
“The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow,” Knapp added.
“With today’s economy, kids need a helping hand with expenses.”
Knapp was an original CNO sponsor who, along with Bistro Off Broadway
and Zechar Bailey Funeral Home, provided the initial support that
allowed the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund to launch its fundraising
project, County News Online. Since then, CNO has funded SSSF with more
than $8,000 in scholarship aid.
The CNO and SSSF business and individual annual scholarship donors
include Knapp, The Fred Wright Memorial Scholarship, presented by
Debbie & Darrell Biddlestone, Delbert & Louise Blickenstaff,
The Greenville Eagles and for next year’s presentations, Al &
Barbara Greiner.
