Stephens Found His Calling in Fundraising - Higher Education

Stephens Found His Calling in Fundraising - Higher Education: As a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta in the early 1960s, Charles Richard Stephens learned he had a knack for fundraising.

When he was wasn’t participating in sit-ins or other community and campus protests, his family recalls, he was recruiting members for the Butler Street YMCA in Atlanta. By the time he left in 1970, he had boosted membership by nearly 10,000 to more than 30,000 members. In the process, Stephens found his place in life and blazed trails along the way.
