2025 year in review

A new chapter

2025 welcomed Ellen Reid as Executive Director, bringing a vision for philanthropy that's personal, relational, and deeply rooted in this community.

"Even small acts of kindness create lasting, meaningful change."

Celebrating community

The 37th Annual Golf Tournament raised $79,200 with 144 players. Wine at the Mine sold out for the third year running. Ten honorees were recognized at the Philanthropy Awards.

Thank you, Rubber Duck Race

After 39 years, nearly 300,000 ducks adopted, and $1.4 million raised, the Great Rubber Duck Race retired in 2025 — closing one of Summit County's most cherished traditions.
