Donate in honor of Sara E. K. Cooper and her dedication to the youth of Mercer County
Sara was a beloved advocate for all members of our community and served on the Board of several area nonprofits. Committed to building great futures and creating opportunities for children, Sara believed that education is the genesis of oppotunity.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County (BGC Mercer), is delighted to announce a new scholarship that will honor Ms. Cooper. The scholarship will enable teens to attend the Club's College Access Program and receive a scholarship towards attending Mercer County Community College or a trade school. Please join us in helping to keep Sara's Spirit alive by contributing to the scholarship fund. CLICK HERE.
Sara felt there was no better way to empower youth than through education, an ideal that aligns perfectly with the Boys & Girls Clubs. "Sara always wanted to help others, especially the underdog," said her husband, Mike Delehanty. He added, "Please help keep Sara's spirit alive by making an annual contribution; no gift is too small." Mr. Delehanty will be matching up to $10,000 of gifts made to the fund personally.
