Dave Knapp continues support of Empowering youth
GREENVILLE - Dave Knapp, owner of Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln in
Greenville, has been a major supporter of his Darke County community
for over two decades, especially local youth. He continued that support
recently with a donation to Empowering Darke County Youth.
Among his community service support activities, Dave has provided
scholarships to local athletes and, more recently, has supported
Empowering programs every year since they were started. He has also
supported such local events and organizations as the Gathering at
Garst, YMCA, and the Cancer Association’s Annie Oakley Golf Tournament;
he’s also provided vehicles for local parades and more. Dave has been
serving Darke County communities for 26 years.
Empowering After School Programs have been put on hold due to the
closing of Darke County school district and Edison State campuses,
along with the Greenville Public Library. If on-campus instruction
resumes prior to the end of the year, Empowering After School and
Summer Tutoring programs will resume as well. In the meantime,
Empowering staff and tutors hope students and caregivers will work
diligently with their teachers in continuing their academic efforts
through their districts’ online Distance Learning efforts.
The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth is a 501c3 United
Way Partner Agency providing After School and Summer Tutoring programs
to assist students in the areas of language arts and math with the goal
of Strong Students for a Strong Community.
