FINAL INTERN SPOTLIGHT!!

Hi, my name is Nala Crumbaugh and I am the Community Intern at the Community Foundation. I will start my senior year at Indiana University this fall. I am studying Social Work with a minor in Political Science. I have always known I have wanted to help people, so having the opportunity to work at the Benton Community Foundation has been very fulfilling.
My job as the community intern is to focus on how the Community Foundation can support our local non-profits. I am also working to publicize the non-profits Benton County does have to encourage individuals to volunteer at these organizations. I am so excited to work with our local non-profits over this summer!

INTERN SPOTLIGHT!!
My name is Grace Whaley and I am the Benton Community Foundation’s Communication Intern! A little about me: I was born and raised in Benton County and graduated from Benton Central in 2022. I currently reside in Otterbein with my fiancé, Jesse and our two beagles, Dallas and Denver. I previously worked in dental for 2 years before enrolling to study Elementary Education at WGU. I am the face behind most of these posts that you see! I love having the opportunity to showcase all the amazing things in our county. I am excited to connect with members of my community and bring more attention to events and ways for people to support the community and foundation!

INTERN SPOTLIGHT!!
BCF has 3 interns this summer that we would love to introduce to you!

Hi, my name is Ethan Crume. I am a second-semester junior at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana. I am studying Sustainability and Geography with minors in nonprofit leadership, park and recreation management, and environmental sciences. I have had the honor of being the Benton Community Foundation’s 21st Century Scholar Intern for the past school year. Helping the high school this past year has shown me just how much you can change how the youth see their future, especially their future in higher education. I love working with every student I have had the opportunity to work with. I hope to help them as much as I can and provide them with hope, guidance, and an understanding of what a 21st-century future can offer them.

Benton Central is the only high school in Indiana that honors opposing athletes for their outstanding display of sportsmanship. This tradition continues the legacy of Dick and Rita Atha. JoAnn Brouillette, a 1979 Indiana All-Star who was also named to the 2004 Silver Anniversary Team of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, was this year's keynote speaker.
