Benjamin mark Banks jr.
Memorial scholarship fund

We know that Ben’s unique personality has influenced so many lives.  He worked very hard to focus so he could learn and deal with daily life due to his Autism/ADHD.  In memory of his amazing accomplishments in his short life, we partnered with Jumet Charitable Foundation and started a scholarship in Ben’s name.
