11/5/26 – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester (BGCGM) proudly welcomed four extraordinary honorees into its Hall of Fame on Thursday, November 5, 2026, recognizing three individuals and one family whose leadership, generosity, and commitment have made a lasting impact on generations of local youth.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2026 includes Arielys Liriano, Karen Statires, Robert “Bob” Singer, and the Stebbins Family. Each honoree represents the Club’s mission uniquely, demonstrating how service, philanthropy, leadership, and community engagement help young people achieve great futures.
“Tonight, we come together to celebrate people who have gone above and beyond to support our mission,” said Diane Fitzpatrick, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester. “Their leadership, generosity, and commitment have made a lasting impact on the lives of countless young people across our community.”
As the youngest Hall of Fame inductee in Club history, Arielys Liriano was recognized for her inspiring journey from Club member and New Hampshire Youth of the Year to international policy professional and graduate student at the University of Oxford. Her path has taken her from Manchester’s West Side to leadership opportunities across the globe, including work with the International Atomic Energy Agency within the United Nations system. Throughout her success, she has remained committed to mentoring and supporting young people.
Philanthropist and community champion Robert Singer was honored for his unwavering dedication to Manchester’s youth and families. Through his support of the Jordan Singer Youth Enrichment Center at the Mark Stebbins Community Center, Singer has helped create opportunities for children and families while honoring the memory of his late son, Jordan. His generosity, compassion, and commitment to community continue to strengthen the lives of those served by the Club.
Volunteer Karen Statires was recognized for five years of service and countless hours devoted to Club members and families. From preparing meals and supporting the food pantry to leading cooking activities and creating meaningful relationships with youth, Statires has become a beloved presence within our Club. Her dedication reflects the power of simple acts of kindness and consistent support.
The Stebbins Family was inducted in recognition of a multi-generational legacy of service and leadership. Beginning with Herb and Tinka Stebbins, whose commitment to giving back became a family tradition, generations of the family have remained actively involved in supporting the Club and the greater Manchester community. Their lasting impact continues through leadership service, philanthropy, and the creation of the Mark Stebbins Community Center, which has expanded opportunities for local youth and families.
The evening also featured the presentation of the first-ever Blue Door Award to Fidelity Investments®, recognizing the company’s exceptional partnership and long-standing commitment to Club youth. For more than 18 years, Fidelity employees have volunteered alongside Club members through mentoring, career exploration, financial literacy programming, Camp Foster service projects, and the innovative Fidelity Fellowship program.
The Blue Door Award was created to honor corporate partners whose leadership and investment create life-changing opportunities for young people. The award was accepted by Deb DiMarzio, Vice President, FIA Operational Controls & Business Readiness, on behalf of Fidelity Investments.
The Hall of Fame celebration brought together community leaders, supporters, alumni, staff, volunteers, and past inductees to celebrate the enduring impact of those who have helped shape the organization and its mission. The event was made possible through the generosity of sponsors including NBT Bank, Cohen Investment Advisors, Bedford Ambulatory Surgical Center, Anagnost Companies, and Gallagher.
