Pastor Ryan Ray and Major Watson from the Springfield Chapter of the Salvation Army on Tuesday May 21, 2019 visited our Noon meeting at Wittenberg University. Our Foundation presented two checks for $1,000 for the Trailblazer and Summer Camp programs. Club President Elect Melissa Tuttle presented the donations.
Trailblazers – A program for at-risk 6th grade boys and girls that raises the level of expectations in the lives of these young people and challenges them to live a life of excellence. This is a program that encompasses mind, body and soul. As a direct result of TRAILBLAZERS, the children participating in the program enjoy improved academics, school attendance and behavior. The children also learn leadership, responsibility, communication skills, good hygiene and how to blaze their OWN trail for others to follow
