Stone & Flick Children Fund Established Through Univest Foundation In Partnership With Word FM And Souderton-Telford Rotary Club
Souderton, PA, December 17, 2014 –Word FM, a local, faith-based radio station, and the Souderton-Telford Rotary have partnered with Univest Foundation to establish the Stone & Flick Children Fund to assist in raising funds for the Stone daughters and for Anthony Flick, surviving children who lost their parents and siblings after the devastating tragedy in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on Monday, December 15.
“We know that we can never put back together the pieces that these children have lost, but our hope is that as the generosity of our community members comes forth, we’ll be able to provide a little peace and comfort,” Word FM station manager, Dave Baker said.
The fund has been jump started with a $5,000 donation – $3,000 of which is from Univest Corporation, $1,000 from Word FM and $1,000 from Souderton-Telford Rotary.
“Our community has been hit hard by this unthinkable tragedy,” said Jim Leary, chief of police for Souderton Borough and president of Souderton-Telford Rotary Club. “We are responding as our community always does – united to show our support for the children who need to know we stand beside them and are here to help them move forward.”
