Byron Braun Shares Fort Wayne Children's Foundation 2025 Grant Award Winners
As co-founder of the Fort Wayne Children’s Foundation, it is my honor to share our 2025 Grants awarded recently at our annual Grant Luncheon! This year’s recipients received approximately $39,000 and are the following: A Mother’s Hope, Blessings in a Backpack, Community Care of Northeast Indiana, Family Centered Services, Lexi’s Voice, New Mercies Ministries, Respect Team, Vincent Villages, and Wells Community Boys & Girls Club.
These agencies help embrace our mission statement of breaking the “cycle” of child abuse in Allen County and surrounding counties in Northern Indiana. Since we started this process, awards now have totaled over $400,000 helping various agencies in our communities.
On a personal note, it is an honor and a privilege to see the fruits of one’s idea that began approximately 30 years ago with my friend Dr. James Cox and continue to make an impact in our local communities.
