The Cowboy Capital Rollergirls recently dropped by to visit with Pearl Griffin Memorial Latch Key Program Director Jessica Hardy and deliver a check for the program. The Rollergirls raised $530 dollars for the local charity, proceeds from their first home game of the season at the Brownwood Coliseum.
Pictured with Hardy are (center) Lisa McNeal, aka Twisted Halo, and (far right) Robin Wheeler, aka Hott Wheels, both of Brownwood. Lisa McNeal expressed her pride in being part of an organization that reaches out to their community.
Founded in 1983, the Pearl Griffin Memorial Latch Key Program is located at 2411 Coggin Avenue in the First Christian Church in Brownwood, Texas. The program serves children (Pre-K through 6th grade) who qualify from low income families to have after school care so that the children are not left home alone. Approximately 80 children are served in Brownwood by Latch Key. First Christian Church donates the classroom space and Howard Payne students help as teachers fulfilling two needs, a low cost staff for Latch Key and a job through the Work Study Program for the HPU students. Latch Key is a United Way Organization.
