MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — SC Studios, a full-service marketing firm headquartered in Martinsburg, West Virginia, is proud to announce a $2,000 contribution to the Leadership Jefferson Class XIX graduation project — a collective community investment that brought together $18,000 in total donations in support of underprivileged youth across the Eastern Panhandle.
Leadership Jefferson, a program dedicated to developing civic leaders in Jefferson County, concluded its 19th class “Roots of Hope” earlier this month with a landmark demonstration of that mission. The class selected CASA of the Eastern Panhandle as the beneficiary of their capstone fundraising effort, directing the full $18,000 raised toward the organization’s vital work advocating for children in the foster care system.
The culminating event was held at James Hite Park in Kearneysville, where class members gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of their project. Beyond the financial donation, the Roots of Hope class made lasting, tangible improvements to the park itself, including planting multiple trees and constructing new benches, creating a welcoming green space that the entire community can enjoy for generations to come.
SC Studios’ $2,000 contribution was part of that collective effort, reflecting the company’s belief that thriving businesses have a responsibility to invest in the communities that sustain them.
“Making this commitment to our community means everything to me. This bench, this investment, it’s our way of saying that our family and our company are planting roots here. We want to help shape the future of the Eastern Panhandle, and this is just the beginning.”
— Moises Mendoza, Owner, SC Studios

SC Studios remains committed to using its platform and resources to champion causes that uplift the Eastern Panhandle — from supporting organizations that serve underprivileged youth to investing in the public spaces where communities gather and grow.
