BPAC Arts Education Director Holly Senter accepted the award on behalf of the BPAC and Delta State Foundation.”I am thrilled to be able to accept this generous award from the King’s Daughters and Sons Circle Number Two. They have been so supportive of the \u2018Read It, See It, Hear It, Be It’ program at the BPAC and through their generous funding we will be able to put deeply discounted books into the hands of thousands of students in the Mississippi Delta, provide hundreds of scholarship tickets to matinee performances and give scholarships to students our MSAI CORE Arts camp next June,” said Senter upon accepting the grant.<\/p>\n

The King\u2019s Daughters and Sons Circle Number Two has served the Greenville community for more than 125 years. Prior to the 1890s, Greenville had no organized charities, welfare agencies or hospitals. In 1892, a group of local women set about meeting the needs of the area\u2019s underserved population. By 1894, they needed more support to be effective, so they applied for a charter of incorporation to the International Order of The King\u2019s Daughters\u2014one of the oldest Christian service organizations in the world. Their charter was received Jan. 14, 1895. The King\u2019s Daughters Hospital was a product of the charter.<\/p>\n

Since that time, the hospital and the Circle have been faithfully serving Greenville and the Mississippi Delta. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Circle sold the hospital but now continues as a charitable foundation. Proceeds from the sale of the hospital make possible grants to philanthropic projects in the area. Since its inception in 2000, the Foundation has given more than $3,661,444, making it one of the largest contributors to charitable projects and programs in the Mississippi Delta.<\/p>\n
