Spaulding Youth Center Receives $50,000.00 Pledge from AutoServ of Tilton
March 29, 2018
Spaulding Youth Center is honored to announce it was presented with a $50,000 pledge from AutoServ of Tilton. The funds will go directly to benefit Spaulding’s programs and services.
This generous pledge became a reality thanks to the long-term support of AutoServ Chief Executive Officer Dennis J. Gaudet, who served on the Board of Trustees for Spaulding Youth Center from 1997-2002. Though no longer serving on the board, Mr. Gaudet is a passionate supporter of the organization. He credits former Spaulding Youth Center Trustee Richard “Dick” Smart for introducing him to the organization and encouraging him to get involved. In 1958, Mr. Smart served as a chairman of a unifying committee that merged the Golden Rule Farm in Northfield with the Daniel Webster Home for Children in Franklin to establish Spaulding Youth Center in Northfield, where he served as a trustee.
“Dick Smart introduced me to Spaulding Youth Center thirty years ago. I instantly fell in love with the organization and became a trustee and supporter,” said Dennis J. Gaudet, Chief Executive Officer of AutoServ. “AutoServ makes this latest donation in Dick Smart’s memory in hope of inspiring others to learn about the special place Spaulding Youth Center is and all of the wonderful opportunities it provides to the children enrolled in its programs.”
The funds donated will be used to support Spaulding Youth Center’s many programs and services, including Academic, Clinical, Community-Based and Residential programs.
“I am honored to acknowledge this donation from AutoServ,” said Susan C. Ryan, CEO & President of Spaulding Youth Center. “Spaulding is deeply appreciative of the unwavering support Mr. Gaudet and his family has provided throughout the years. Generous corporate sponsors like AutoServ provide the necessary resources to continue providing exceptional learning and living environments for the children we serve. AutoServ exemplifies how corporate social responsibility can positively impact their community and state.”
