The second commemorative coin in 2017 was the Boys Town centennial program. The coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the founding of Boys Town on December 12, 1917 by a young parish priest named Father Edward Flanagan.
Starting off with virtually no resources and just his firm belief that any child could became a productive citizen if they were given love, a home, an education and a trade, Flanagan rented a boarding house for boys that became known as Boys Town. Today it is one of the country’s largest non-profit organizations that serves over 2 million at-risk children and their families each year, focusing on treatment for behavioral, emotional and physical problems of children and families.
