Stephens Memorial supports Empowering programs for third year
GREENVILLE – Dianna Wagner, President of the Harry D. Stephens
Memorial, Inc., recently presented a check to Susi Halley, Vice
President of Empowering Darke County Youth. The check supporting
Empowering Darke County Youth programs was the third gift from the

“We are grateful for the Harry D. Stephens Memorial continued support,”
said Halley. “These gifts have been instrumental in our ability to
continue serving Darke County youth struggling with their academics.”
Wagner said the Harry D. Stephens Memorial distributions are made for
the public benefit of residents of the Greenville, Ohio, area. “Our
committee realizes the importance of education for Darke County. We
appreciate what these volunteers and tutors are doing to help our young
people.”

293 students from six Darke County school districts. The majority of
the volunteers were Edison State Fundamentals of Communication

17,000 hours with more than 700 Darke County students.
