Inspiring Youth and Encouraging Families - with See Ya Later Foundation
The See Ya Later Foundation began with a simple phrase from Scott Banke, who would say “See ya later” instead of goodbye during his battle with cancer. His courage and positive attitude left behind a legacy of hope, courage, and faith. After his passing, his mom, Carmen Banke, and their family launched the foundation to carry that spirit forward.
Today, the foundation awards scholarships to students, hosts youth inspiration camps, and supports families facing medical crises — impacting thousands of kids and parents in Newberg and beyond.
In this episode, Carmen shares:
- The story of her son Scott and how his words became the foundation’s mission
- What makes See Ya Later youth camps and scholarships unique
- Stories of encouragement and lives changed through the foundation’s outreach
- The role of faith, family, and community in carrying forward Scott’s legacy
- How you can get involved and support this mission of hope
