Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County – South Haven Unit’s Torch and Keystone Club members are dedicated to taking care of others’ needs and giving back to the community. Recently, they held a dance and raised $400. The Club members donated the funds to Hannah’s Hope, a local non-profit whose mission is to help children with special needs and raise funds for pediatric brain research.
“Hannah’s Hope is so thankful to the South Haven Boys & Girls Club for their generous donation,” said Matt Martinez, uncle of Hannah Martinez, for whom the organization is named. “The donation will be used to help build an all-inclusive playground in Porter County. Hannah’s Hope is blessed to have amazing community organizations donating to our cause.”
