Hank promotes book and helps scholarship project

By Josie Sellers For The Beacon
Hank the Horse was back in town on Sept . 6 to celebrate his new book and a special project being worked on by owner Tammi Regan ’ s Coshocton High School Class of 1984 .
“ We are very happy to have him back , especially with us being the first library to get to check in his book ,” Corazon Britton from the Coshocton County District Library said .
“ Be Like Hank ” is Regan and Hank ’ s true story . Hank , a once lonely and neglected horse , was saved by Regan . Together the pair now travel around promoting literacy and spreading kindness and joy .
A copy of Hank ’ s book will be available at the Coshocton Main Library and the branch in West
Lafayette . They also have character kits that come with a Hank plushy .
“ Having his first book
in my first library means everything to me ,” said Regan , who now lives in Kentucky , where her

nonprofit For Hank ’ s Sake is based .
After library patrons had the chance to visit with Hank , he took part in Regan ’ s 40th class reunion , which included the kickoff of their scholarship fundraiser for the Class of 2034 .
“ The goal is in the next 10 years to raise $ 10,000 ,” Regan said . “ Hank is giving the first donation of $ 1,500 . One thousand of that is from For Hank ’ s Sake , and $ 500 is from a loyal and longtime supporter of For Hank ’ s Sake . I want to leverage the goodness of Hank and inspire the next generation . This scholarship won ’ t just be for a college student . You could be going on to a trade or technical school . Anyone can donate to the fund by reaching out to the Coshocton Foundation .”
The scholarship fund also is being supported by
