Youth First, Inc. will honor former EVSC educator and administrator Steve Fritz at its 11th Annual Breakfast of Champions event on Tuesday, October 23rd, at 7:00 am at St. Vincent Manor in Evansville. Fritz will receive the Dr. William Wooten Champion of Youth First Award.
Steve’s tireless passion for helping young people thrive has made him a distinguished educator and community leader. He impacted thousands of lives during his 35-year career with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation. The students he taught, the players he coached, and the teachers he mentored all credit him with contributing to their success.
Steve became involved with Youth First in its earliest days, partnering with the organization to strengthen youth and families and eventually joining the Board of Directors. In 2007, Steve became the first leader to follow in founder Dr. William Wooten’s footsteps as Chair of the Board. He continues to volunteer and advocate for Youth First’s mission.
Proud to have been born and raised in Evansville, Steve is a graduate of North High School, the University of Evansville and Indiana State University. In addition to his involvement with Youth First, Steve was also profoundly impacted by his involvement with YMCA’s Camp Carson, where he served as a camp counselor and continues today as a Board member.
The media is invited to attend the Breakfast of Champions and is asked to RSVP to Jana Pritchett (jpritchett@youthfirstinc.org) by 5:00 pm Monday, October
