Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, left, talks with Hugh Maclellan before the On Point dinner Thursday at the Chattanooga Convention Center.What breaks us makes us stronger if we let it, was a theme at On Point’s annual dinner Thursday night.
Central High School senior Adareus Jackson is an example of this, just as much as Jim Daly, the national president of Focus on the Family, keynote speaker of the fundraising event.
On Point is a Hixson-based program that works to help teens in the region’s schools learn to make good life decisions through a variety of mentorship programs.
Jackson said the Life On Point program at Central High School changed his life.
“It kept me out of trouble and taught me how to be a leader,” he said.
