Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 12 p.m., various Elizabethtown College administrators and members of the Snider Youth Hockey Foundation, along with former Flyers goalie Bernie Parent, came together in the Susquehanna room in Myer Residence Hall to recognize the recent partnership announced between the College and the “Goals and Assists” organization.

This foundation gave $500,000 of scholarships for Snider Youth Hockey students to attend college.

The “Goals and Assists” program focuses on giving “students that are most at risk” the opportunity to earn a college degree, said Robert Carr, founder and chairman of “Give Something Back.” This is a mentoring and scholarship program for students who come from lower income families.

President Carl Strikwerda calls the College a place where there are faculty and resources to “help [students] learn, thrive, and graduate with success.”

Etown was also called a “perfect landing spot for [our] kids” by CEO and president of Snider Youth Hockey Foundation Scott Tharp.
