To Dave and Carla Coble Stidham, philanthropy is a legacy. Both were raised in households where concern for others was demonstrated daily. The Stidham and Coble families have a long history of commitment, engagement and support of Wayne County's business, medical and educational progress with a focus on youth services and activities. In that tradition Dave serves on the Ivy Tech Richmond Board of Trustees and volunteers for several other organizations. Carla also is also a volunteer.

Dave and Carla have established the Stidham Family Scholarship fund at Ivy Tech Foundation to benefit students from minority and underrepresented populations in Wayne County enrolled in health, education or business programs. The scholarship covers a significant portion of tuition, book and other college-related expenses for each of the recipients.

The auditorium in Ivy Tech - Richmond's Johnson Hall has been named "Stidham Auditorium" in recognition of their gift and support of Ivy Tech. Dave and Carla accepted this accolade in honor of their parents, Dr. Frank and Marcella Coble and Wayne and Frances Stidham.

Dave remarked, "This is something Carla and I have considered for a long time. As we look back, we realize the significant impact our parents have had on our lives. We each grew up in stable family environments where hard work and applied knowledge led to better lives. The intent of the scholarship program is to help underprivileged youth enhance their lives through knowledge."

Carla added, "I have fond memories of my parents contributing time and talents to help others. I am pleased that I have inherited that compassion and am able to share time and resources to support causes that I believe in."
