$65,000 GRANT FOR THE STUTTERING FOUNDATION
Foundation supporters Laura Shinall and Mac Wilson assisted in securing a $65,000 grant to the Stuttering Foundation from the Kathryn Elizabeth Fell Demaree Fund of the Community Foundation of Howard County, Inc., in memory of Ms. Shinall’s mother, Betsy. The grant is designated specifically for “general charitable purposes.”

“The kindness and generosity shown by Laura, Mac and the Fund is just remarkable,” said Jane Fraser, President of the Stuttering Foundation. “This grant will be used to help those who stutter, specifically young people, to assist in finding a fulfilling job and career— an issue that is near and dear to both Laura and Mac.”
In May 2015, Ms. Shinall and Mr. Wilson attended the Stuttering Foundation’s annual gala which focused on the theme of stuttering and finding a career. Speaking from the podium that evening, Ms. Shinall challenged the audience to “… understand what our young people are dealing with and to step forward to help develop a program designed to match young people from the stuttering community with leaders in the business community … Please join me as I seek to empower those who stutter by helping them find rewarding careers.”
talkinwithtwang I love these notes from children who stutter in The Stuttering Foundation publication. I plan to share them with my students so they see that they are not alone.
