Thankful Thursdays, sponsored by Townsquare Media, has returned for the season and they have started out with a bang - raising nearly $9,000 for the Jason's Friends Foundation.
Van Dyken delivered an impassioned, funny and, most of all, inspiring speech to the attendees of the 23rd Annual Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming Awards and Recognition Breakfast on Wednesday morning.
Since its inception in 1996, the Jason's Friends Foundation has raised more than $5 million, according to its founders. It has been a constant source of support, a constant pillar in the community of Casper and now, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming are honoring the Jason's Friends Foundation, specifically its founders - Jason's parents- Rocky and Lisa Eades.
