Student duo raises $1,200 for Children and Youth Services
Butler County Children and Youth Services aids children in emergency situations up to age 18, but on Wednesday, the organization received help from two people within that age demographic.
Tobin Maharg, 10, a student at Emily Brittain Elementary School, and Jonathan Dahl, 9, a student at Sugarcreek Elementary School, donated $1,200 to children and youth services as members of the William C. Graham Manor Squires, a Masonic youth leadership group.
Getting the financial donation, along with a donation of clothing and hygiene items, was inspiring for Charlie Johns, administrator of Butler County Children and Youth Services.
“It was incredible to see that they could conceive of the need of helping kids just like them,” Johns said. “That was easily one of the most inspiring events that I have attended in a while because I think that is a good sign for our community that there are kids who think this way.”
