Special Recognition
In the 1980’s, Dave Hardman, President of the Board of Trustees, had the vision to support Youth Challenge through an annual Race Day. More than 35 years later, Youth Challenge is excited to partner with Sherwin-Williams Women's Club and expand Dave’s vision! We are so grateful to the Hardman Family for their support spanning more than three decades.
