Harry Stephens
Memorial supports BBBS
The Harry Stephens Memorial recently made a donation of $2,000 to Big
Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County. This
donation is specific to the Darke County program and will assist the
agency in continuing to serve “at risk” children through the Big
Buddies after school program in Darke County.
Mentoring programs provide support, activities, education, and most
importantly, a mentor for children who may be considered at-risk.
The children involved in this program have the opportunity to engage in
fun, social and academic enrichment activities with the interaction of
their mentor. This years the after school Buddies program curriculum
will focus on STEM. It is our goal to teach these children, through
their relationship with their mentor, skills in managing life in a
high-risk environment.
Thanks to generous donations like that from the Harry Stephens Memorial
Foundation matches continue to be made in the Darke County and continue
to help children in a positive way.
