Jack and Ruth Eckerd founded Eckerd, an organization that guides vulnerable youth to a better path in life. They believe
that every child should have the opportunity to succeed and to have Second Chances. Roxanne Wilder, the co-host of CBS WTSP’s
Studio 10, was the emcee for this evening that featured a presentation by actor, director, producer, author and philanthropist
Henry Winkler, who most people remember as TV’s “The Fonz” on Happy Days.
Becky Dennis and her husband David, president
and CEO of Eckerd, are proud that it benefits
more than 15,000 children and families each year.
Blythe Ebbert and her husband Eric of ProVise
Management believe in the work Eckerd does
to give children and their families Second
Chances.
