DAYTON – Dayton resident and State Farm Insurance agent Bette Lou Crothers is doing what she can to support Dan and Ginny Butler in their quest to organize a Boys & Girls Club in Dayton. Now she needs community support to win $25,000 toward the cause.
Crothers entered the Boys & Girls Club project in the State Farm Neighborhood Assist national grant competition in June. State Farm reviewed and scored the 2,000 submissions, narrowing it down to 200 finalists. The Boys & Girls Club made the cut.
The final grant distributions are determined by public vote which opens Aug. 16 and runs through Aug. 25. A person can vote up to 10 times per day. The top 40 vote-getters will receive $25,000. Winners will be announced Sept. 28.
"This is an incredible opportunity to secure critical funding to build our very own Boys & Girls Club," said Crothers. "This would be a great benefit to our children and this community as a whole."
Anyone interested in supporting this cause is encouraged to vote early and vote often by visiting https://www.neighborhoodassist.com/entry/1997545. Vote up to 10 times per day, every day. Voters will be asked to register and verify their email to protect against robot votes but will not receive any junk mail from the site.
"The Dayton Boys & Girls Club is the vision and mission of Dan and Ginny Butler. Their dedication is bringing a much needed venue for Dayton children to receive encouragement, mentorship, help with school work, and a positive place to be safe and have fun. This grant will be a great support in making this vision a reality," Crothers said.
