BENS Hope LogoThe Meaning Behind The Name

“The story of how I came up with the name for our organization is not a long one, but I believe it is significant. I feel Ben helped me think of the name. We were putting together the walk in Ben’s honor and I also knew we were going to make a website. Ben was always our computer guy, so I know he would have wanted a hand in it. When we were trying to come up with a name for Ben’s organization I thought of what we were trying to do for other people. To give hope. The acronym for Ben’s name came to me Because Everyone Needs Some HOPE not only for our family, but for everyone.”
-- Terry (Ben’s Dad)

    Patti & Terry Cullen presented virtually to UW Oshkosh students for a project of mine. I wanted to do something to influence students and let them know that they are never alone. They accomplished just that, even through a computer screen. I liked that they were comfortable presenting many different topics. The students at UWO chose suicide and Covid-19, and they were able to relate the two within their discussion. I am thankful that this family is able to open their hearts and be vulnerable to help other struggling people!

    Patti and Terry Cullen presented to our 8th and 9th grade students at Riverdale JH/HS. Their presentation was powerful, emotional and impactful for the students and staff. The message they present is real life and you can feel the emotion. They do a tremendous job, not just discussing suicide but also bullying and depression.
We have noticed a positive difference in the way students interact with each other since the presentation. We look forward to having Terry and Patti back in the future and would recommend them to other schools. Thank you for making a difference in our students!
