Starke County Youth Club Radiothon set for May 1

The annual Starke County Youth Club Radiothon will go on as scheduled on Friday, May 1.

Hosts will take phone calls of special guests for the day to present information over the air due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Those individuals may include government officials, school representatives, and community partners.  Starke County Youth Club participants and families will also share stories of how the after school program helps shape lives. 

According to Starke County Youth Club Executive Director Irene Szakonyi, after school programs include homework assistance, enrichment activities, and recreational centers.  It helps build responsibility and character where they can prepare the future workforce. 

Each pledge submitted on May 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT will help continue the successes of the children who are part of the Starke County Youth Club.  Pledges on May 1 can be called in at 574-772-6241 or by visiting www.thescyc.org.  More information can also be reviewed on that website.
