Bistro Off
Broadway supports SSSF
Annual Scholarship Donation to be made through County News Online
Ted Abney, owner of Bistro Off Broadway, has joined County News Online
and the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund to offer an annual “Bistro Off
Broadway Scholarship for Academic Excellence” to county teens with
superior academic records and a need for scholarship aid to the
university of their choice.
His first check will be awarded soon to a local teen, and he intends to
participate in the SSSF Annual Awards Banquet in the future. Awards are
typically presented each year in late April or early May.
The Bistro Off Broadway, on East Fifth Street in Greenville, is one of
Darke County’s premier dining establishments and its owner has been
heavily involved in community service and support. While Abney has
placed no restrictions on the scholarship other than academics, his
plan is to provide aid to 4H students in the future.
“I work with a lot of the 4H kids and there is definitely a need
there,” he said.
The Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund will be providing $7,000 in
scholarships to deserving teens this year through local businesses and
individuals, and its fundraising programs. It has provided over $19,000
in scholarships since its inception in 2009. Over $6,000 of those
awards have come from County News Online Sponsors.
Bistro Off Broadway is the third entity to establish an Academic
Scholarship for local teens. Also participating in the program are
Debbie and Darrell Biddlestone with their “Fred Wright Memorial
Scholarship,” and Delbert and Louise Blickenstaff.
