West End School
Fowler Securities and Benefits is dedicated to providing quality insurance,
investment and benefits products to its clients with a strong commitment to
individual and personal service and support. This dedication to our clients is
matched by our commitment to community involvement and service. We at FSAB
pride ourselves on being a very charitable organization and enjoy giving back to
those in need. For this reason, we host a charity golf scramble every year to raise
money for a local organization in need of added financial help. This year, we will
be hosting the Scramble for the sixth consecutive year. We have been able to
increase our donation every year of the event, and we hope to make our largest
increase ever this year, and our goal is to raise over $10,000 for the West End
School.
In past events FSAB has donated the proceeds the Cabbage Patch
Settlement House, as well as the Louisville Deaf Oral School. This year’s
beneficiary is West End School. West End School was founded in 2005 by
Reverend Russell Awkard, pastor of New Zion Baptist Church, and Robert Blair,
former headmaster of Kentucky Country Day School. The School operates as a
free, private boarding school for underprivileged, middle school boys, most of
whom come from single parent households. West End School’s aim is to prepare
its students for lifelong success through rigorous coursework and behavioral
remediation. The School began in 2005 with six students and has since grown to
over ten. These students live with Mr. and Mrs. Blair, yet their hope is to expand
the School to house as many as fifty boys, and the current accommodations
cannot accommodate such a large number. Recently, the West End School
suffered a fairly serious setback when much of its main building suffered heavy
water damage as a result of flooding. For this reason, as well as continuing
support for Pastor Awkard and Mr. Blair’s vision for the School, FSAB feels that
the West End School is a very deserving and needing source of charity for this
year’s FSAB Charity Golf Scramble
