COLUMBUS - The American Legion Buckeye
Boys State recently received a $5,000
donation from AT&T Corporation to help
further the program's ongoing mission to
educate young men about city, county and
state government and teach them how to be
active leaders in their communities.
A letter from David Kandel, Director of
External Affairs for AT&T Ohio, which
accompanied the donation stated that
"AT&T believes the experience American
Legion Buckeye Boys State provides is
essential for our nation's future. Boys
State gives young people meaningful and
challenging insights into how public
policy is made in a representative form of
government and encourages those who are
interested in public service…"
State Senator Steve Buehrer (R-Delta),
who is in the Buckeye Boys State Hall of
Fame and has served as a counselor at Boys
State for several years, applauded
AT&T's donation.
"I am glad AT&T has chosen to
support Buckeye Boys State's important
mission to help educate the future leaders
of our state," said Buehrer.
A ceremonial check was presented to
Buckeye Boys State by representatives of
AT&T at the Statehouse in Columbus.
Senator Buehrer, David Kandel and Gerald
A. White, Director of American Legion
Buckeye Boys State, were all in
attendance.
