The Welcome to a New Life Founders’ Circle was established in 2021 to recognize and thank donors who donate to Welcome to a New Life. The name was chosen to honor the Welcome to a New Life vision set forth by founders Stan Kujawa and Harold “Puck” Rowe. Their desire to provide second chances to adults involved in the justice system has grown into an opportunity to change the lives of mentees and their families. The levels of giving were established to celebrate our contributions while also encouraging their family and friends to help us in our mission to provide mentorship and resources for adults who are involved in the Hancock County criminal justice system, helping them to live crime-free, drug-free productive lives.
