Audi Hilton Head Sponsored Hope and Opportunity EventBoys & Girls Club luncheon honored long-time Club supporter Susan Ketchum
By: NRAM Audi The Hope & Opportunity luncheon originated in 2012, as a way to celebrate those who have benefited the community through their service and professional success. This year’s honoree, Susan Ketchum, is a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch and has been working with non-profits throughout the Lowcountry for nearly 30 years. In addition to serving on the Board of Directors for the Hilton Head Island Boys & Girls Clubs, she was part of the founding committee for Women in Philanthropy and also worked with the Zonta Club. “If you instill hope in young children, they will look at life as joyous,” Ketchum says. “There is no doubt that what Susan has done for the Boys & Girls Clubs in this community has been invaluable,” New River Auto Mall President & CEO, Warner Peacock, is a past recipient of the Hope & Opportunity Award. “We were glad to be a part of this function again this year,” said Mr. Peacock. “The Boys & Girls Club is a vital resource for young people in our community.” The Boys & Girls Clubs’ mission is “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.” The Bluffton and Hilton Head Island clubs serve about 1,500 children annually in an effort to bring safe and engaging environments for play and education. With the help of dedicated volunteers, members enjoy activities created to help foster academic success and healthy lifestyles. “My hope is that every child in Beaufort County finds a place like the Boys & Girls Clubs,” Ketchum says. This event benefited the Boys & Girls Club SMART Girls Program. The SMART Girls Program offers young ladies – ages 8 to 17 – guidance and encouragement so they can have healthy attitudes and lifestyles. Through activities and mentoring opportunities, the Boys & Girls Clubs strive to show these young ladies the benefits of eating right, getting good health care, developing positive relationships and possessing self-esteem. Audi Hilton Head is an active participant in the Lowcountry community, and was proud to contribute to this worthwhile event.
