Juneteenth marks the day when all enslaved people were freed in the United States. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, slavery wasn’t completely abolished in the U.S. until 1865. On June 19th, 1865, enslaved black Americans in Texas, who were never informed of their freedom, were finally told that they were free. June 19 marks the day when everyone in the United States was officially free, and that is why we celebrate Juneteenth.

Congratulations to Vanessa Frable, our 2026 Samantha Cravens Scholarship Award Recipient! This scholarship was founded by a generous gift from our former board chair, Scott Koenig, to honor an employee who makes a personal commitment to professional growth. The award is named in memory of a former Our Family employee, Samantha Cravens, who was dedicated to nonprofit work and passionate about creating positive change for youth in our community. Sam was smart, ambitious, and had a big heart. Those who knew her described Sam as someone who was going to have a lasting impact on our community and they fondly remember the joy she brought to this work with her laughter and sense of humor. Every year, we meet to remember Sam, honor her memory, and continue her impact by supporting the development of emerging nonprofit leaders on their professional journey. Sam, you are missed.

Pictured below from left to right is Corey Cravens (Sam's husband), Vanessa Frable (scholarship recipient), Jamie Snyder (Our Family's CEO), Scott Koenig (scholarship founder), and Samantha Cravens.
