Ward and Smith is proud to be a supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Plain.

In fact, Steve Stephenson has been a Boys & Girls Clubs volunteer for more than 30 years. And on March 25, Steve will deliver some remarks at a virtual celebration honoring the non-profit's Circle of Champions. The event is sponsored in part by the firm. The Circle of Champions consists of individuals, like Steve, and businesses, such as Ward and Smith, who donate a specific amount of money annually in support of the organization's mission of enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

The virtual Circle of Champions Celebration is invite-only and precedes the Boys & Girls Clubs' annual Youth of the Year recognition event, which starts at 7 p.m.
