TheElkhart County
Chamber of Commerce recognized Bashor Children’s Home as the Not for
Profit of the Year at its annual recognition dinner on March 5,
2008.
Bashor was recognized out of just
less than 1000 not for profits in the county as the best in 2007. Bashor
was recognized for its commitment to the children of the county and for
providing much needed services to these children. Whether it is schooling, a safe
place to live, or help with different issues a child may have, Bashor has
been filling this need in the community for over 85 years. On a daily basis Bashor provides
services for over 100 children on its campus in Elkhart County.
The award goes towards realizing our
vision of being a passionate purposeful organization that is mission
driven striving to become a nationally recognized model agency, an agency
which inspires others by replacing ineffective traditional approaches with
catalytic innovation so powerful it significantly reduces the need and use
of intensive-long term residential services by truly serving
families.
President Don Philips gives credit
for the award to the Employees, Board of Directors, and the volunteers
that work day in and day out with the children and their families. “The employees and their
dedication to the mission of Bashor is what really separates us from many
organizations. Their
commitment to do what is best for the children without regard for anything
else is what really makes us special."
