ADOPT A CLASS

Who We Are: Adopt A Class connects businesses and civic groups with students in our economically-challenged schools. By pairing teams with individual classrooms, our adult mentors expose the students to a breadth of life and career experiences to increase their knowledge of career opportunities and expand their horizons with clearer self-vision. For the adopting organizations, this engagement fosters a culture of teamwork and increased knowledge our community’s needs and the challenges faced by our youth.

but we also impact the adult volunteers too! Our corporate and civic partners experience better employee engagement and retention as mentors build stronger relationships within their teams, find a connection in the community, and provides the opportunity for them to give back in a meaningful and direct way. How You Can Help: Donate! With your support, we can impact our community in a lasting way. To learn about opportunities to support Adopt A Class, please visit: https://aacmentors.org/donate/ Become a mentor! Start a volunteer team with your company today – it’s only a one hour, once a month commitment. Find connection in the community and give back in a meaningful and direct way. Share your interest with us by emailing Kate McCann at kate@aacmentors.org.

What We Do: Our program connects students, PreK – 8th grade, with caring adult mentors who expose them to a variety of experiences and career opportunities with a focus on college & career pathways, essential employability skills, literacy, and STE(A)M. Our approach to group mentoring is unique. Our program matches corporate and community mentors to a specific classroom for an entire school year. During this time, mentors engage with their students one hour, once per month in four ways: monthly mentoring sessions, educational activities, field trips, and pen palling while also sharing with the students what makes their individual companies unique in what they do.

Why We’re Important: Our program serves both elementary and junior high schools with the highest concentrations of poverty where currently 92% of students are Federal Title 1 (Free & Reduced Lunch status). Many students throughout Greater Cincinnati find themselves lacking role models and/or a support system. Our mentors can be that positive influence, instilling important values and life skills while introducing critically important career concepts. Our partner organizations have made it possible for us to work with students in nearly 200 classrooms in 33 schools across Cincinnati Public Schools, Catholic Inner City Schools Education, Covington Schools, Newport Schools, Boone County Schools, and Norwood Schools.

BAYLEY dementia trainings are scheduled to enhance communication and understanding of loved ones in need of memory support.

Who We Are: A non-profit ministry of the Sisters of Charity, Bayley is a continuum of care Retirement Facility and Community Wellness Center on the west side of Cincinnati. For over thirty years, dedicated staff and volunteers have provided compassion and quality of life to those we serve in a Catholic/Christian-like environment. We strive to help others live “Life In Every Moment” at any stage, regardless of their abilities. Our goal is to promote optimum health and wellbeing for seniors of all faiths who live on our campus and in the greater community through the programs and services we offer.

How We Serve the Community: In 2021, we had over 2000 Fitness Center members from the local community. The club has become the place where friends meet, socialize, work out and attend outreach programs that encourage safe and healthy lifestyles. In an average year, we hold 47 to 50 fitness classes each week, including classes in balance, yoga, boxing, Pilates, tai chi, water aerobics, belly dancing, cycling, and more. In 2021, Bayley Home Services kept 60 seniors living on campus or in the community safe and independent - on their own, but not alone!™. Over 50 members and their families were assisted by the Bayley Adult Day Program. We also assisted many seniors with their rehabilitation needs, both inpatient and outpatient.

What We Do: Bayley offers 78 Independent Living cottages, a Fitness Center, an Adult Day Program, Outpatient and Inpatient Rehabilitative Therapy and Assisted Living, Home Services, Memory Support, Skilled Nursing Care, and Pastoral Care. Physical, social, spiritual and emotional needs are addressed by our professional, caring staff. We adhere to the strictest standards of safety and hygiene, with ample PPE and increased staff training during COVID-19. Vaccination is required for employees and our residents and staff are tested regularly based on state and county mandates. Our staff has created safe and diverse activities to satisfy the varied interests of those in our care. Once COVID regulations were lifted, family members were once again encouraged to join in the daily activities, attend Mass or experience the beautiful gardens and accessible walking paths around campus with their loved ones. Our residents’ relatives quickly become an extension of our Bayley family, often renewing old friendships and creating new memories. In 2021, over 400 seniors called Bayley home. In spring of 2022, we will break ground on our new 80-unit Independent Living apartment homes, Bayley at Green Township.

How You Can Help: Bayley’s vision is to continue providing exceptional, compassionate care to seniors for generations to come, but we need additional support to make this happen. We currently have no waiting list for our lovely Assisted Living apartments, and we hope that you will encourage friends and relatives to tour, to see if they would like to call Bayley home! Charitable contributions are welcome and we offer several giving options that include event sponsorships, memorial or tribute donations, society memberships and planned giving opportunities. Volunteers, important members of our Bayley family, add to the circle of friends for our residents and members through their service to others. Whether you’re helping on field trips, delivering mail, knitting prayer shawls or taking time to sit and chat, we invite you to share your talents with us. Visit www.bayleylife.org. Bayley 990 Bayley Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45233 513-347-5500 bayleylife.org bayleylife (Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram)

Why We’re Important: Residents, Adult Day and Fitness Club members participate in a variety of services, classes and programs coordinated by our professional staff. We have put extra cleaning and sanitizing procedures into place, as well as social distancing and mask requirements for staff. Upholding our reputation as the preferred senior wellness hub in the community and contributing to our five-star rating awarded by the Center for Medicare/ Medicaid Services, we help seniors where they are today. Expanded residential options and community services are available if care needs increase. Responsive to family concerns as well, the Adult Day Program offers respite to caregivers, and educational

BETHANY HOUSE SERVICES, INC.

Who We Are: Bethany House Services has served Cincinnati’s poorest families since 1983. Our mission is to empower homeless and at-risk families with the solutions to achieve housing stability and long-term self-sufficiency. We envision living in a community where all families have a place to call home, and no one spends a night without shelter. With strong community support, we have successfully completed a capital campaign for construction of a facility in Bond Hill to provide comprehensive prevention, shelter, and housing stabilization services more efficiently for families facing homelessness. Transition to the new facility is planned for the third quarter of 2022.

How We Serve the Community: Of the 201 families who exited from shelter during 2021, 96% entered into a positive housing situation and 37% exited with increased income. More than 80% of families who exit from shelter each year do not return to homelessness within two years of leaving. The new Bethany House facility will provide on-site medical and mental health care providers, including staff from Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center and Cincinnati Health Network. We anticipate that job readiness, employment services, and other vital supports for family stability will also be available.

What We Do: Bethany provides comprehensive services to struggling families. Programs provide safety, food, clothing, and all physical necessities. During the COVID pandemic, families are sheltered in apartments or hotels with the cleaning supplies and protective measures needed to keep them safe. All services are provided by empathetic staff educated in trauma-informed care to meet emotional and mental health needs. Life skills education is provided so that families remain stably housed after the family leaves shelter. Children are enrolled in school or childcare; children with special needs are connected with community service providers. Housing programs help families overcome barriers to obtaining housing.

How You Can Help: Volunteers have always played a vital role in the success of families served in Bethany House shelters and will be even more important in the new facility. Community support for the children’s programs is crucial – tutoring for teens struggling with classes, stimulation for infants and toddlers, reading to preschoolers – volunteers can change the path a child chooses to follow. Financial donations often cover immediate expenses and can prevent repeated episodes of homelessness. A car repair can enable the parent to drive to work; household items enable families with no possessions to transform an empty apartment into a home.

Why We’re Important: Bethany House is the largest family shelter in Hamilton County, serving more than half of the homeless families who receive shelter services. Case managers prepare the family to achieve and maintain housing stability. We provide on-site mental health counseling for parents and children. We teach the basic skills families need to contribute to the community and establish connections to the services they will need after leaving shelter. We provide emergency assistance, so they do not become homeless again. We give the children a chance to be kids and to be the last in their families to ever experience homelessness.

BLOC MINISTRIES ministry, women’s ministry, and job training. Our programs are as diverse as our community including, but not limited to, children’s afterschool programs, a fitness center for young athletes, a residential recovery home for women exiting the sex trade, jail ministry, a food pantry, community meals, and a coffee shop that serves as a community gathering space as well as a job training platform for our neighbors. Because all of our programs are within Price Hill, they are interconnected, allowing our neighbors to utilize multiple programs or services across different stages of their lives. Programs seamlessly integrate allowing us to be available in a myriad of ways.

Who We Are: Dr. Dwight and Stephanie Young began BLOC Ministries in 1998 after working as youth pastors for more than a decade in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in Knoxville, Tennessee. As community pastors, they’d seen youth and adults whose lives and neighborhoods were breaking or shattered. The Youngs realized that many students slipped between the cracks: not involved in school, church, social clubs, or any productive pursuits. Yet these were the ones who were usually at the highest risk for dropping out, drugs, teen pregnancy, crime, sex trafficking, and other risks of urban streets. BLOC was created to build connections and safe spaces for students, families, and adults to thrive and succeed in spite of difficult circumstances. We’re a faith-based non-profit that focuses on healthy, personal relationships and activities that help to build hope, purpose, and vital life skills.

How You Can Help: In 2021 BLOC Ministries broke ground on a firstof-its-kind program called Horses on the Hill (HOTH.) Construction has officially begun and we expect phase one to be complete this fall! Phase one will include a six-stall barn and indoor riding arena on seven acres, right in the heart of Price Hill. We estimate HOTH will serve about 300 at-risk urban children, teens and adults as well as those with developmental disabilities through equine-assisted therapy every month. At no cost to the participants this program will aid participants in building life skills -- character, trust, and boundaries (to name a few.) Will you join us in supporting this life-giving project by making a financial contribution today? You can give online at OneBLOC.org or you can mail a check to BLOC Ministries (memo HOTH), 911 W. 8th St. Cincinnati, OH 45203. For more information contact Katie Metz at 513.546.4830 or Katie.Metz@oneBLOC.org.

What We Do: We serve our community through a diverse array of programs ranging from afterschool programs to homes for women exiting the sex trade. Regardless of the program, each follows the same process. We begin by meeting our neighbors right where they are, ministering to their immediate needs. We encounter children in desperate need of stable relationships, women chained by addiction forced into prostitution, men stuck in the never-ending cycle of incarceration, and other difficult life situations. By ministering to physical needs, doors open, relationships are built, and our neighbors begin to hope again. We minister one-to-one seeking to create generational change.

BLOC Ministries 911 W 8th St, Cincinnati, OH 45203 (513) 250-5722 onebloc.org facebook.com/blocministries Instagram: bloc_ministries

Why We’re Important: Price Hill is our home. Every BLOC staff member not only works in Price Hill, but lives here as well. We love our community, but we are the first to admit that it is broken. Violent crime, drug abuse, and prostitution plague our streets. Lives are being destroyed, and families are becoming doomed to the curse of generational poverty. By entering into the Price Hill community, we have a chance to live life with our neighbors. We build relationships and share hope in brokenness. By sharing hope, we equip our neighbors to break the cycles that would have otherwise consumed them.

BOYS HOPE GIRLS HOPE CINCINNATI their potential, and help transform our world. Children create these successes when we remove obstacles, support and believe in them, and provide environments and opportunities that build on their strengths. We are currently accepting applications and referrals for boys and girls in grades 7-9 for the 2022-23 school year. If you know of a child who would benefit from our program, please contact us at bhghcincinnati@bhgh.org.

Who We Are: The mission of Boys Hope Girls Hope is to nurture and guide motivated young people in need to become welleducated, career-ready men and women for others. BHGH serves underprivileged youth in Cincinnati by providing residential, therapeutic, and educational assistance. BHGH’s scholars in grades 7-12, are academically capable and motivated, without access to quality education, living at or below the poverty level, and come from socio-economically disadvantaged environments. Scholars live in one of the three BHGH homes (Gardner, Heidt, and HC Schott) Sunday – Friday evening, where our program offers our scholars holistic and academic support from staff, mentors, tutors, and counselors.

How You Can Help: There are numerous ways to be a part of our organization and the life-changing programs we offer. You can tutor, mentor or volunteer. We are currently seeking volunteers to help with upcoming fundraising events (see list below). We appreciate donations of school supplies and basic needs for our scholars and houses. Visit our Amazon wish list: https://a.co/ cuJwEL0 for a list of items. You can also make a monetary donation online: https://bhghcincinnati.org/donate/. However you choose to help, every contribution makes a difference!

What We Do: While living in the family-like homes, scholars are enrolled in college preparatory schools, participate in extracurricular activities, attend summer camps, and volunteer in the community. Our program wraps our scholars in many services, providing food, clothing, shelter, access to top parochial schools, mentoring, tutoring and probably most importantly, therapeutic mental health services. Our main objective is to have them successfully complete high school, go on to college and ultimately gain employment. We know education is the great equalizer and by supporting our children on this path, we know they will break the generational cycle of poverty.

BRANDON C. GROMADA HEAD & NECK CANCER FOUNDATION UCCC in 2018 to provide an annual grant award of $25,000 for a HNC project fitting the foundation’s guidelines. (Last year we co-sponsored a second grant, which also went to a UCCC researcher for a HNC project.) We hope our commitment to UCCC’s HNC research program will be a factor in UCCC achieving National Cancer Institute (NCI) status soon.

Who We Are: The Brandon C. Gromada Head & Neck Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization that funds innovative head and neck cancer (HNC) research and raises public awareness about this sixth most common form of cancer. The foundation was named for Brandon C. Gromada and launched by his parents on June 3, 2012, the day after his death from HNC. We are committed to supporting ground-breaking research that leads to the development of more effective, less-debilitating treatments and to the discovery of cures for HNC. We want no other family to know the sadness of losing a beloved member to HNC.

How You Can Help : The pandemic continues to present fundraising challenges. In 2022 you can help Brandon’s foundation bring an end to HNC by: • Participating in the foundation’s MASKerade online fundraiser • Purchasing a sponsorship level for the April Stay Home – Stay Safe MASKerade • Contributing the amount one could have spent on the Mardi Gras MASKerade. • Participating in The National Exemplar’s April 26th Great Food for a Great Cause, which benefits Brandon’s foundation • Serving on an event committee or task force • Hosting an individual fundraiser benefitting Brandon’s foundation • Contributing regularly to Brandon’s foundation, including through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

What We Do: Only research can lead to new treatments and cures. We raise funds for HNC research, administer a grant process, and award funds annually for the most promising research proposals. Brandon’s Foundation also participates in events to raise public awareness of HNC. The foundation’s annual MASKerade is its major fundraising event. (Because of Covid restrictions, MASKerade 2022 will again be held online.) We cheer community businesses that hold fundraising events, and individuals or groups who host product parties or Facebook fundraisers or donate privately. Thanks to these contributions, Brandon’s Foundation has awarded more than $300,000 for groundbreaking HNC research.

Why We’re Important: Brandon’s foundation enables promising, peer-reviewed research projects to get off the ground. Although HNC is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, it is grossly underfunded when it comes to allocation of research dollars. Current treatments often have both immediate and long-term debilitating side effects. Related surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation frequently result in facial disfigurement, loss of oral function with difficulty eating and swallowing requiring an indwelling feeding tube, loss of many or most teeth, speech difficulties, and so on. Mental and emotional effects are common. Only research can drive changes in treatment and discover cures.

Executive Director: NA – all volunteer organization; no paid positions at this time Email: bcg.headneckcafdn@gmail.com Board Chair: Karen Gromada

How We Serve the Community : Brandon’s foundation has awarded two to three HNC research grants annually since 2014. Because proposals from researchers at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center (UCCC) continually ranked in the top two and received funding each year, we entered into an agreement with

CANCER FAMILY CARE

Who We Are: Cancer Family Care is a nonprofit organization that helps children and adults cope with the effects of a cancer diagnosis in the family. We are known throughout the Greater Cincinnati region as a force of compassion and strength in the face of cancerrelated illness and loss.

rates to caregivers. Our programs are available at six area offices, and to ensure continuity of care, our social workers and counselors offer tele-heath visits, and are able to make house calls, when appropriate. Our Treehouse Children’s Program is school-based and offers both individual and group therapy for children and teens ages 5-18.

What We Do: Cancer Family Care provides individual, couple and family counseling to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis or loss from the disease. Our therapists are all Master’s Level trained social workers and counselors. We also offer free wigs, oncology massage and Healing Touch to cancer patients and at a reduced rate to caregivers. Our Treehouse Children’s Program includes individual and group therapy in addition to Camp Courage, our day camp for children dealing with cancer or a cancer loss in the family.

How You Can Help: Our Treehouse Children’s Program is offered at no charge. Our adult counseling program does bill insurance if appropriate and co-pays are on a sliding fee basis if clients are able to pay. No one is ever turned away due to a lack of insurance coverage or ability to pay co-payments. The number one stressor for those dealing with cancer is finances. Because of our generous donors, we are able to help families deal with the added stress without incurring more financial hardships caused by counseling fees.

Why We’re Important: Over the next decade, the number of new cancer cases is expected to go up, mostly because of an aging population. Because cancer patients overall are living longer, the number of cancer survivors is expected to go up from about 11.7 million in 2007 to 18 million by 2020. People who have cancer may find the physical, emotional, and social effects of the disease to be stressful. People who are able to use effective coping strategies to deal with stress, such as relaxation and stress management techniques, have been shown to have lower levels of depression, anxiety, and symptoms related to the cancer and its treatment.

Who We Are: The Cincinnati International Wine Festival is a charitable, non-profit organization founded in 1991 to raise funds for local charities focused on the arts, education, health and human services, while elevating and promoting the wine industry. Typically held each March, the 31st festival will be held in May this year, following a series of event postponements and cancellations in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. Known as the Midwest’s premier wine event, the festival brings hundreds of wineries from around the world to the Greater Cincinnati area each year, offering guests a fun, uniquely curated and luxurious wine weekend complete with delectable culinary delights, live and silent auctions, a collector’s tasting experience, education sessions and more.

THE CURE STARTS NOW

Who We Are: The Cure Starts Now started with just one child. Today, The Cure Starts Now, with headquarters here in Cincinnati, is comprised of over 600 families and chapters dedicated to finding the Homerun Cure™ for all cancers, starting first with one of the deadliest cancers: pediatric brain cancer. Experts believe that the lessons we learn from fighting pediatric cancer may provide us with the critical first step in winning the battle against all cancers, both pediatric and adult.

How We Serve the Community: The Cure Starts Now supports research and trials that provide treatment to over 3,000 children battling cancer worldwide every year. We are the largest pediatric cancer research foundation resulting in the establishment of The Cure Starts Now Foundation Brain Tumor Center, as part of a multimillion-dollar donation to fund pediatric brain cancer research at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. We have funded over 100 cutting edge research grants at over 100 hospitals in 15 countries since 2007.

The Cure Starts Now represents a revolutionary new strategy in cancer research: one that fights cancer not according to numbers but, instead, based on knowledge and research.

How You Can Help: The easiest way to support The Cure Starts Now is with a simple donation which can be made online at donate2csn.org. However, there are many ways to get more involved: • Our events are successful in large part because of the support of volunteers. A simple donation of time can go a long way toward helping us raise funds for critical research. • Sponsoring one of our events can make a huge impact on research funding by offsetting the costs of hosting an event. • Get your community involved in something bigger – host your own event/fundraiser. We’re happy to provide support with our top notch event staff.

What We Do: The Cure Starts Now actively seeks to create new research collaborations and protocols for pediatric brain cancer that were previously thought to be too ambitious or impossible. To this end, we raise funds in support of innovative research. Additionally, we have a yearly grant funding cycle in which our Medical Advisory Council reviews submitted grants to determine their relevance to our research strategy and makes recommendations based on funding abilities determined by our board. When we choose a grant to fund, we make an active effort to be part of the research from the check presentation to the conclusion.

The Cure Starts Now 10280 Chester Road, Cincinnati, OH 45215 (513) 772-4888 thecurestartsnow.org Facebook: www.facebook.com/TheCureStartsNow Instagram: www.instagram.com/curestartsnow Twitter: www.twitter.com/CureStartsNow

Why We’re Important: Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children, with over 11% of those diagnosed dying each year. However, the National Cancer Institute designates only 4% of its annual research budget to all pediatric cancer research. Since 2007, in collaboration with our partners, we have funded over $18 million in research. Like one of our heroes Lauren Hill, we fight for and give a voice to those who may be too young to speak for themselves.

DEPAUL CRISTO REY HIGH SCHOOL How You Can Help: • Make A Gift – Every DPCR student receives tuition assistance. Your gift of cash or stock makes a life-changing education possible. • Provide A Corporate Work Study Job – Students work to fund part of their own education. Your connections can introduce our innovative work-study model to new companies and these companies to our amazing students. • Support Our Events – Rey of Light Dinner Auction, DPCR Golf Classic and Champions of Change need sponsors, raffle and auction prizes, and volunteers. • Support Our Graduate Success Fund – Gifts will help us endow this fund as a permanent resource supporting our alumni to college completion. Our goal is $6 million.

Who We Are: DePaul Cristo Rey is Greater Cincinnati’s only Catholic high school exclusively serving young people who want to go to college but whose families lack the financial means to support their college dreams. All students receive financial aid and they work in local businesses earning part of their own education costs through our Corporate Work Study Program. Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, DPCR is one of 38 high schools in the nationwide Cristo Rey Network® which serves 12,300 young people. What We Do: DePaul Cristo Rey provides education, professional work experience and intensive support to help young people with great potential complete high school, enroll in and successfully complete college. In addition to being the only local high school with a Corporate Work Study Program, DPCR is also the only local high school with a full-fledged Graduate Success Program providing human and financial resources to support alumni to college completion.

Why We’re Important: Many young people in our community lack access to quality schools and the opportunity to pursue higher education, but they don’t lack dreams, drive or motivation. Many businesses and organizations in our community seek better ways to improve their pipeline of future talent and demonstrate their commitment to workforce diversity and community engagement. DePaul Cristo Rey is their common thread offering students quality, faith-based education and exposure to the professional world, and a Corporate Work Study Program that benefits both students and business partners.

President & CEO: Siobhan Taylor Email: siobhan.taylor@dpcr.net Vice President of Advancement: Sparkle Worley Email: sparkle.worley@dpcr.net Board Chair: Tim Stautberg

How We Serve the Community: DePaul Cristo Rey students are this region’s future college graduates, professionals, parents, community leaders, and changemakers. At DPCR, they are prepared, encouraged and supported to embrace their potential, find their voices, enroll in and graduate from college; many of them are the first in their families to go to college. Nationally and locally low-income and minority students have significantly lower college graduation rates than their middle and high-income peers. However, Cristo Rey students are two times more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree by age 24, compared to the total U.S. low-income population.

the possibilities of other organizations by doing one thing : connecting. We empower our community supporters by bridging the gap between their resources, skills and abilities; and our patients, who at times require assistance outside the scope of most other organizations.

Who We Are: The Dragonfly Foundation (TDF) is a 12-year-old nonprofit that supports the families of pediatric cancer patients in this region. TDF works directly with our partner, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and others, to lend a hand to families during their cancer journey. What We Do: Dragonfly delivers our mission of support through patient and family events, care packages for newly diagnosed patients, hair loss education and coping, community support and more. We work to enhance the healing process and lessen the emotional and physical toll that is associated with a cancer diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and maintenance. We understand that, even though treatment may end, the post-traumatic stress, the challenges of side effects and the anxiety of recurrence may challenge families for years. We build community to help families connect with others who have or are facing similar experiences.

How You Can Help: Everyone has something to offer for the greater good. Financial contributions, gift donations, volunteer hours, celebrity connections, or other skills, abilities and talents are welcome. Please share your heart with families in need.

Why We Are Important: TDF is the first organization in the region to expand into a fully comprehensive cancer patient and family care organization.

Join our African American Families for Educational Excellence (AFE) giving society. The AFE was born out of the idea that one generation has a direct responsibility to invest in the next generation. AFE dollars (100%) go directly to support a child receiving year-round academic support. Our goal is to find sponsorship for all students in Catch Every Child (831 Students in 2022). Scholarships to the AFE can be made on Envision Children’s website listed below. Click on the AFE Form to join.

And when our residents’ funds are depleted, they can continue to live in our communities.

Who We Are: Episcopal Retirement Services (ERS) is rooted in the generosity and compassion of those who believe that the elderly deserve to age in a home-like environment, where respect and freedom of choice are paramount and where they can enjoy full and meaningful lives during their later years. Since the 1950s, philanthropists in the spirit of Charles and Marjorie P. Lee have contributed time, talent, and treasure to ensure ERS remains a leader in meeting the evolving needs of older adults representing a wide range of demographics. This legacy of charitable giving and ser vant leadership continues today through the Good Samaritan Mission Fund, which supports the ministries, programs and services provided to ERS residents, staff and individuals throughout the community.

How You Can Help: There are many ways you can support our mission with a donation of your time or money. We have volunteer opportunities with Deupree Meals On Wheels, or in our communities.

THE ERICA J. HOLLOMAN FOUNDATION FOR THE AWARENESS OF TRIPLE NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER mastectomy and reconstruction. We also promote community screenings by organizing mammography vans in neighborhoods that may have less access to quality health care.

Who We Are: The Erica J. Holloman Foundation For The Awareness Of Triple Negative Breast Cancer is a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 in honor of Dr. Erica J. Holloman. Erica was a young African-American woman diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) at the age of 31. During her cancer fighting journey she saw the need to let others know about this highly aggressive form of breast cancer. Our vision is to educate the community, give hope, and to empower women and men to make proactive decisions regarding their health that will lead to the prevention of TNBC.

How You Can Help: • DONATE ONLINE OR BY CHECK: visit www. ericajhollomanfoundation.org or mail check to foundation address • DRIVE AWARENESS: (Ohio Residents) Purchase Ohio’s first TNBC Awareness license plate. Each plate donates $25 to The Foundation. • ANNUAL BRA DRIVE: Donate NEW BRAS. Monetary donations can be made by check or online and are used to purchase bras. • KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS: Enroll and earn rewards for the Erica J. Holloman Foundation when you use your loyalty card. • AMAZON SMILES: Sign up for Amazon Smiles and select The Erica J. Holloman Foundation as your charity.

What We Do: The Erica J. Holloman Foundation continues to educate through community events within the Cincinnati area and nationwide. We have partnered with one of Greater Cincinnati’s largest health networks to host the first forum on Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Our College Students Against TNBC campaign promotes awareness in our next generation. On October 2nd, college students wear special t-shirts and spread awareness by posting throughout social media. We also strive to meet a special need through our annual Bra Drive where we have donated over 6500 new bras to women’s shelters, back to work programs, and disaster relief initiatives.

Most importantly, talk about Triple Negative Breast Cancer to everyone you know. The Erica J. Holloman Foundation for the Awareness of Triple Negative Breast Cancer P.O. Box 14334, Cincinnati, Ohio 45250-0334 513-541-6110 www.ericajhollomanfoundationince.org Facebook.com/theericajhollomanfoundation

Why We’re Important: About 15 to 20 percent of all breast cancer cases are diagnosed as triple-negative. Findings on triple negative breast cancer are very scarce but research indicates that TNBC has one of the greatest mortality rates and the highest risk of death with this type of cancer among women of color. The Erica J. Holloman Foundation has become the necessary bridge to create new conversation about TNBC research, treatments options, breast care, and help mend the health gap that is prevalent between our communities.

President: Josie Holloman-Adams Email: ejhollomanfoundation@yahoo.com Vice President: Dr. Ebony Griggs-Griffin

How We Serve the Community: The Erica J. Holloman Foundation prides itself on ensuring we are immersed in the community. We believe that the knowledge about this form of cancer is best delivered by personally meeting with the people and leaders in the community. One of our greatest rewards is when we create partnerships between individuals living with TNBC. Every year we give special recognition and a gift basket to a woman newly diagnosed with TNBC and that has undergone a double

Transforming HOPE for the Future BUILDING ON A FOUNDATION OF EMPATHY AND EXCELLENCE

Mental Health Center of Excellence


LINDNER CENTER OF HOPE education programs (online and in-person) that build understanding and acceptance that mental health needs are as common and treatable as other chronic illnesses.

The Lindner Center of HOPE is working to increase access to mental healthcare through an expanded staff and services aligned with critical community needs. This includes addiction services, outpatient programs and telehealth services.

Who We Are: The Lindner Center of HOPE is a nonprofit, comprehensive mental health center and global leader offering stateof-the-science diagnosis and treatment of the most pervasive mental illnesses of our time. • One of the first centers designed as a fully integrated system of care to address deficiencies in mental health care as identified by the Institute of Medicine. • Innovative inpatient and outpatient programs in partnership with UC Health and Cincinnati Children’s serving nearly 48,000 patients from around the world. • A leader in research and collaborations that are advancing the field and positioning Cincinnati as a national leader in mental health care.

develop severe psychological distress. We know that by providing these resources, we are saving lives.

Who We Are: Founders Chris and Jessica Cicchinelli hope to lead the charge toward a change in perspective and awareness to make our communities a safer, more inclusive place for transgender children. To accomplish this, Living With Change engages with schools and businesses to help ensure transgender youth are protected and accepted while working with lawmakers to change existing policies, prevent discriminatory ones, and promote initiatives that help transgender youth thrive in a more inclusive and equitable future.

How We Serve the Community: In January 2022, we learned there are 280 anti-trans proposals in legislation across the United States. LWC fights for the trans community and strives to educate everyone about LBGTQIA+ rights. We host virtual support groups for trans teens and for parents and family. We also provide funding for the LWC Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which also provides essential health care to trans youth and their families. Last year, we helped 35 people with legal fees so that they could change their name to the one that matches their identity.

What We Do: We support transgender youth and their families in their journey through our advocacy and partnerships. LWC is committed to increasing resources for holistic care. The Cicchinellis made a $2 Million donation to the former Cincinnati Children’s Hospital transgender clinic, now the Living With Change Center. We’re providing more funding to hire more workers, like a trans care navigator to help patients and their families. We also partner with Equality Ohio and TransOhio’s Legal Clinic by offering financial support for transgender residents who are engaged in the legal name change process in Ohio.

How You Can Help: Donate to LWC so we can increase the resources for trans youth and their families. It is also extremely important to educate yourself as an ally. LWC posts educational resources on social media. Sign up for the LWC Magazine to stay up-to-date with legislation, education, and events.

Why We’re Important: 50% of trans youth will attempt suicide in their lifetime. 1 in 4 trans youth did not go to a health care provider because they feared being mistreated. We know at least 7,400 transgender people live in the Great Cincinnati area alone. We can make a difference in their mental and physical health by providing care at the LWC Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. A Stanford University study shows that when trans people get gender-affirming hormone therapy, they are 222% less likely to

treatment. We are the solution to empty free time for young adults trying to heal from mental illness or addiction

Who We Are: Madi House is a 501 (c)3 conceptualized after Steve & Julie Raleigh lost their daughter to suicide due to mental illness in Cincinnati, OH. The organization strives to bridge the gap between institutionalized help and rehabilitation centers and recovery by creating a safe haven for young adults to come to hangout after programmatic care. Madi’s House is a free, non-residential community center for young adults healing from mental illness, or addiction that provides activities to fill idle time.

How You Can Help: Madi’s House is a storefront location called Madi’s Annex with limited capacity, but after a generous donation from Bon Secours Mercy Health Madi’s House has taken possession of the nearly 8000 sq ft home on the former Powell Crosley Estate on 2 acres on land.

What We Do: We are a free, non-residential community center that provides fun, activities and emotional support like music, games, art classes, wellness programs, and special events to foster ongoing wellness. The organization provides an opportunity for young adults who recently completed institutionalized help to hangout and find friends with similar experience on their way to a healthy lifestyle. Madi’s House is the only one of its kind in the region. Madi’s House mission states “We are a vibrant place of engagement. Madi’s House offers peaceful support and alternative activities to young adults battling addiction, mental illness and hopelessness.”

Please reach out to info@mhcincy.org. • Attend or Sponsor: We would love your support and to meet you at one of our events!

Why We’re Important: With one of every five people suffering from untreated mental illness and addiction, there are more than half a million people around Cincinnati, Ohio, alone who need help after seeking professional treatment. Hamilton County, the county Madi’s House resides in, exceeds double the national average in drug poisoning related deaths, and the state of Ohio is nearly double. There is a great fear of the idle time between meetings, work, school, and other doctor visits and the temptations that are associated with reentering the community. Madi’s House aims to take away any temptation to fall to old habits. This void in treatment is the reason Madi House exists.

MEALS ON WHEELS safe and healthy at home. Our in-home visits provide unique opportunities to meet nutritional needs, combat isolation, address safety hazards and provide holistic care. But we are also working on new ways to address how we serve the community. We acquired a food truck so we can serve meals in new and different locations. We began working with corporate partners so we can serve fresh food such as salads, and created apps so seniors can order food rather than struggle with getting groceries. We are even addressing larger health issues by utilizing food as medicine.

Who We Are: The way Jennifer Steele sees it, nonprofit organizations should think and act more like Silicon Valley start-ups rather than dusty old organizations that are risk-adverse and haven’t changed in decades. They need to be creative and innovative, says the CEO of Meals on Wheels Southwest Ohio & Northern Kentucky. Tomorrow’s challenges can’t be solved using yesterday’s solutions. “We’re trying to transform what the future looks like for seniors,” Steele says. “We’re trying to solve big problems and change big systems, and the only way to do that is to be creative and innovative.” That’s why we like to say that we’re “Much more than a meal.”

How You Can Help: Many seniors can’t do it alone, and neither can we. We need your help to meet a growing need. A gift of $250 can provide a month’s worth of home-delivered nutritious meals and friendly visits to a homebound senior – and 100 percent of all gifts stay in our community. We offer meaningful volunteer opportunities for individual and groups, ranging from preparing meals in our kitchen to helping deliver meals directly to people in need. We have fundraising events you can participate in, such as our Pie-K 5K run/walk, and our Bust a Crust! event in which you can order pies for Thanksgiving that both support our efforts and satisfy your taste buds.

What We Do: Since our founding in 1937, our mission has been to deliver hot meals and essential services that promote the independence of seniors so they may remain in the comfort of their own homes. In 2021, that mission expanded when MOW merged with Cincinnati Area Senior Services (CASS), creating one of the country’s largest community-based organizations that provides direct and critical services to seniors. In 2021, that resulted in 1.4 million meals to 10,000 seniors in 12 counties; pet support services; transportation; shared/ group meals and socialization; independent living assistance; and a full case management program focused on financial management, guardianship and protective payee services.

Meals on Wheels Southwest OH & Northern KY 2091 Radcliff Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45204 513-661-2777 www.muchmorethanameal.org Social Media: Instagram: @MuchMoreThanAMeal Twitter: @MealsPlusMore Facebook: @MuchMoreThanAMeal LinkedIn: @MuchMoreThanAMeal

Why We’re Important: There is a crisis on aging facing this country. In 2018, there were 52.4 million Americans age 65 or older. By 2040, that number will grow to 80.8 million. Seniors are an often-forgotten, at-risk population that face unique medical, social, adaptive and nutritional needs. Combined with physical and financial resources that steadily decline as they age, the demand for our help is going to continue to grow rapidly. When COVID hit, the demand for our services tripled, and it hasn’t gone down. Providing care to seniors is a distinctly challenging balance of providing appropriate levels of intervention, while fostering independence and protecting dignity. We are uniquely positioned as the region’s leading senior services agency to address and meet these challenges.

Executive Director: Jennifer Steele, Chief Executive Officer Email: jsteele@muchmorethanameal.org Development Director: Kat Steiner, Chief Giving Officer Email: ksteiner@muchmorethanameal.org

and bottom up. Regional Co-Chair Amy Alt, Vice President Sales at Procter & Gamble says, “NextUp Cincinnati is about advancing women, growing business and transforming industry through the power of our community. Cincinnati is a fantastic region to make that happen through our networking programs and events. NextUp Cincinnati has served as a broader platform for me to drive diversity and inclusion in the Consumer Product Industry. It has allowed me to connect and learn from so many leaders outside of my company.”

Who We Are: For over 20 years, Network of Executive Women (NEW) has been bringing professional women and corporate partners together to champion gender equity and advance all women in their careers. Now, NEW is changing its name to better reflect our mission of advancing women in the workplace. The new name, NextUp,"encapsulates the experience and solutions that we bring to life for women at all stages of their careers," said President and CEO Sarah Alter.Together, we are a powerful, growing community of over 14,000 members and 300+ regional and corporate sponsors. We work to create leadership opportunities, amplify women’s voices in the workplace and ensure that ALL women in business can embrace new opportunities.

How You Can Help: Join our community of more than 14,000 leaders, across North America and Canada, who are transforming themselves and their industries. Our NextUp Cincinnati community is stronger than ever as we have virtual and in-person programming. Interested in getting non-profit board experience? NextUp Cincinnati committees consist of volunteers who focus on growth and development of members and sponsors, event programming , college outreach, communications, creating community alliances and mentoring. There are opportunities to join the conversation and share your time and talent at every level!

What We Do: Despite the drive and dedication of brave women, allies and organizations, corporate America is still wildly inequitable. Even as gains are made with women in leadership, new challenges emerge; work-life balance struggles are real and women are leaving the workforce in droves. NextUp is dedicated to fighting the good fight—for all women. Why We’re Important: WOMEN ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN CORPORATE LEADERSHIP - Women hold just 7.4% of Fortune 500 CEO roles, despite comprising 50% of the world’s population. GENDER EQUITY IS GOOD FOR SOCIETY AND GOOD FOR BUSINESS - Companies in the top quartile for gender diversity in their executive teams were 21%more likely to have above-average profitability than those in the bottom quartile.“As the world continues to change, our solutions and benefits have adapted to promote allyship, better support the needs of women of color and transform corporate cultures,” SarahAlter, NextUp President and CEO, said. “We are committed to diversifying our community across gender identity, ethnicity, age and industry to ensure that everyone feels they belong with NextUp.”

NEW LIFE FURNITURE BANK you are recycling and helping prevent the more than 20,000 items we collected from ending up in a landfill.

Who We Are: New Life Furniture Bank is a faith-based non-profit located in Blue Ash, Ohio, serving the Greater Cincinnati area. The region’s only nationally-registered furniture bank, we collect gently used furniture (mattresses/beds, dressers, tables, chairs, sofas, lamps) from people throughout Greater Cincinnati, inspect and clean it, then deliver the items directly to the homes of families in extreme need. Originally a small ministry of Milford First United Methodist Church founded in 2006, the organization gained 501(C)3 status in 2009. More than a decade later, New Life Furniture Bank partners with over 50 social service agencies to help end the cycle of homelessness.

How You Can Help: Our 2022 goal is to furnish more than 1,800 households! There are several ways you can help: • DONATE FURNITURE: Consider donating gently used items, including: • Clean mattresses, box springs, and frames • Nightstands, dressers, desks, chairs, end tables, coffee tables, small sofas, recliners • Floor & table lamps, blankets, linens, towels, new pillows, and toiletries • Small appliances such as microwaves, coffee makers, toasters, dishes, silverware, cookware, utensils • CONTRIBUTE FUNDING: Your donation helps extend our reach and fuel our mission. One of the most important ways we invest monetary donations is in purchasing mattresses. • VOLUNTEER AS A TEAM OR INDIVIDUAL: • Sort, pack household donations • Host a “Fill the Truck” event in your neighborhood • Build/repair/deliver furniture • Organize a pillow or blanket drive • Serve on Board and Event Committees • Volunteer for our “Design with a Heart” program

What We Do: A “furniture bank” works a lot like a food bank – only instead of food, we collect donations of gently used furniture and provide it to those in need. We deliver up to 18 items, furnishing empty houses of individuals and families overcoming homelessness, escaping domestic abuse, aging out of foster care, or rebuilding after disasters and extreme poverty. Having a furnished space restores dignity, brings pride of ownership, adds confidence, and allows people to stabilize while working toward self-sufficiency. We help get children sleeping on floors into warm, safe beds. For those who have lost everything or have nothing, we turn empty houses into homes. Why We’re Important: Imagine your children sleeping and eating on cold, bare floors day after day and night after night. This is the harsh reality for thousands of low-income families escaping poverty in Greater Cincinnati. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Cincinnati’s child poverty rate is one of the highest in the nation, and the city is consistently ranked in the top poorest cities in our country with a poverty rate almost twice the state’s average. Our goal is for all Greater Cincinnati families to live in furnished homes, relieving suffering, strengthening family units, improving quality of life, and building a better community.

How We Serve the Community: We believe in the healing power of giving and receiving to empower communities to come together and support our most vulnerable populations. In 2021, we delivered 21,193 pieces of furniture to 1,370 households. Those households consisted of 2,642 individuals and nearly 50% were households with children under the age of 18. Speaking of children, we delivered a record 1,597 beds, which helped those children move from the floor into a warm bed! Nearly 80 % of the families we serve are reported earning less than $12,000 annually. So, when you donate, you can be assured you are helping people with great need. Not to mention

OHIO VALLEY VOICES

Who We Are: Ohio Valley Voices (OVV), founded in 1999, is an early intervention center and school that teaches children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) to listen and talk through the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants. We serve children and their families from infancy to age eight. After graduating from our program, the vast majority of OVV students will go on to attend their local school alongside their hearing peers. Our curriculum is designed to provide a comfortable, loving environment that fosters confidence and a lifelong love of learning through talking.

How You Can Help: While hearing devices like cochlear implants are typically covered by health insurance, OVV’s highly specialized services are not. We depend on the support and partnership of community members like you to ensure that our services remain accessible to all children. Over a third of our budget comes from financial contributions from individuals and foundations. We also rely on the generosity of our volunteers to keep our school programs running. Visit our website to donate to our annual fund and learn about our many volunteer opportunities.

What We Do: Simply put, OVV teaches children who are deaf to speak. First, our Family Center gives families an early start on teaching their child how to listen and talk through individualized therapy, parent education, and support. Next, the Academic Program focuses on giving preschool and early elementary children an education designed to accelerate the learning of spoken language, literacy, and academic subjects, the goal of which is to prepare each child to enter a mainstream school alongside their hearing peers. Finally, OVV provides audiological services to our students, alumni, and D/HH children throughout the region at our on-site clinic so that each child can make optimal use of his or her listening device.

(Western & Southern Financial Group)

Why We’re Important: Ohio Valley Voices is one of the few programs in North America dedicated to a listening and spoken language curriculum for children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing. Indeed, families have moved from across the country and around the world to take advantage of our services. Our guiding principle is that every child deserves access to sound and communication as a right. By providing our students with a language-enriched environment and the tools to talk, OVV helps them reach their fullest potential and embark on a bright future.

Your gift can honor someone you care about or mark an important date. You can make your gift online with your credit card, by check, through a gift of stock, as a Qualified Charitable Distribution through your IRA and/or in your estate plan. We also welcome your help as a CASA Volunteer to work directly with abused and neglected children at www.prokids.org/ volunteer.

What We Do: Known as CASA Volunteers, Court Appointed Special Advocates are community members who advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children. CASA Volunteers are trained and supported so that they can get to know the child and everyone in the child’s life. These volunteers then advise Hamilton County Juvenile Court, which ultimately decides who will raise the child and give them a safe, permanent, nurturing home. In about 10 hours a month, CASA Volunteers help children heal from trauma and move on to a brighter future.

Why We’re Important: Childhood trauma, including abuse and neglect, casts a long shadow in a child’s life, and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to put significant strain on already vulnerable families and puts children at increased risk for abuse and neglect. Traumatized children are more likely to drop out of school, to become homeless, to experience teenage pregnancy, to develop substance addictions, to be unemployed, and abuse their own children. When ProKids is involved, 99% of our children are safe from abuse and neglect. Thanks to our donors and volunteers, ProKids changes the lives of children and the future of our Hamilton County community.

How We Serve the Community: There is nothing more fundamental than a home for a child. But when a child’s home is unstable or violent, they can be removed from their family and become part of the child protection system, a governmental safety net that is overwhelmed by the number of Hamilton County children in need. ProKids collaborates within this system to directly advocate for individual children, thanks to dedicated volunteers who are backed

REVIV FAMILY SUPPORT FOUNDATION

High Five Foods providing families with meals while at the hospital, or home food delivery from our food pantry partners & the Refuel Program that helps families with transportation needs with gas cards.

Who We Are: “It takes a village to raise a child.” This statement is often said to new parents. This simple statement encompasses the importance of the community’s collective responsibility in ensuring the success of the new family. But what happens when a child receives a life altering medical diagnosis? What if friends and family do not know how to give support, as they do not have this experience? Reviv is that village. Reviv is the lifeline to families experiencing complex medical diagnoses for their child, providing personalized care, emotional support & practical aid for the entire family.

How You Can Help: • Give the Gift of Time: Service driven individuals can make a difference in families lives through volunteer opportunities or Board membership. • Give Financial Support: You can donate to our programming through one time or monthly donations, gifts of stock and shopping rewards. • Attend an Event! We would love to welcome you to our Derby Day Party! All our events are listed on our website • Share us with a Friend: Follow us on social media and share Reviv’s mission with your friends. Tag your friends who you think would want to join us in our mission, the power of connection is strong and you never know what ripple you may begin!

What We Do: Reviv Family Support Foundation meets families where they are in their medical journey with a child offering unduplicated wrap-around services that span the hospital to home continuum. Our ultimate goal is to bridge gaps, build community, and bring hope by offering services within our four main pillars: Family Support, Hospital Support, Home Support, and Bereavement Support.

Welcome to our village!

Why We’re Important: There is a significant gap for a family when they have a child who receives a critical diagnosis, including daily activities, new division of time and resources for a family, the reality of unanticipated needs to be taken care of. The child is not the only one receiving his/her diagnosis, the entire family does. One of Reviv’s main differentiators is in addition to caring for the entire family, Reviv does not require a specific diagnosis (cancer, cardiovascular, etc.) in order for a family to receive support.

How We Serve the Community: Each family referred to Reviv is matched with a Family Support Worker (FSW). This individual becomes a support and resource for the family. The FSW is available to the family when they are in town for appointments, by phone and text while they are home and creatively provides personalized solutions for the entire family. The Reviv Room is a space created for kids and caregivers to recharge with snacks & activities before, in between, or after their child’s appointments;

We allow families to face the weight of illness together and to focus on the health of their child.

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION OF CINCINNATI person organization with 35,000 clubs throughout the world, all promoting selfless service.

Who We Are: We are a professional service and networking organization that brings together business and community leaders of all ages to make a real difference in the community. As the charitable arm of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati, The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati harnesses the funding, the hearts and the hands of our 300+ Rotary Club members under the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.”

How We Serve the Community: The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati has a long history of meeting needs and providing critical support to organizations serving children and families. In 1920, we created Cincinnati’s first school for children with disabilities. Those early hospital-based classes became today’s Roselawn Condon School for children with significant challenges – a legacy we have supported for more than a century. Our Camp Allyn in Batavia provides recreational and independence-building opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. We are in the midst of a $1 million expansion and renovation program at the camp, including the addition of 54 acres and infrastructure projects. Our high school youth programs include public speaking, mentoring and leadership.

What We Do: When you have more than 300 business and community leaders pulling together, you can do a lot – even during a pandemic. Since July 1, 2021, we donated more than $120,000 to local non-profits; we sent 15,000 pairs of sunglasses to schools and community members in Ghana; through our “Fruit Bowl” project, our members provide fresh fruit for students and families in the West End. Members have logged close to 500 hours on 28 community projects including clean-up days at Camp Allyn, Loveland Bike Trail and the Mill Creek Alliance, volunteering at Ronald McDonald House, WCET Action Auction, Tikkun Farm Greenhouse and Matthew 25 Ministries. Our key service focus is children with disabilities. This year we will celebrate the centennial of Camp Allyn in Batavia, which we created in 1921 to meet needs of people with polio or injuries from accidents. Today, Camp Allyn serves people with a wide range of disabilities through a partnership with Stepping Stones Ohio. As part of our global mission, we are active in Rotary International’s war to eradicate polio worldwide. Our club is a key funder for projects bringing solar power to rural Uganda and bringing clean water to communities in Madagascar.

How You Can Help: Become a Donor: You or your company can become a donor or sponsor for the Camp Allyn centennial project, helping to fund two pavilions, kitchen upgrades, new windows and weatherization. The project is “The Future is Now – Launching Camp Allyn Into the Next Century.” See www.cincinnatirotary.org Join The Rotary Club of Cincinnati: We have special membership levels for students, young professionals and corporations as well as for career professionals.

Why We’re Important: Rotary magnifies and focuses individual efforts of business and community leaders to meet community needs. Too often, organizations that work with struggling families and severely challenged children operate in a different world from business, government and community leaders. We bring those worlds together, educating and building relationships that streng then the future for us all. Our mentoring and professional development programs for members promote ethics, understanding and generous involvement. Our youth programs include public speaking, mentoring and leadership. Rotary is especially effective because it is part of a 1.2-million-

We provide support to maintain over 254 instruments, to provide 1,000 pointe shoes and over 290 student performances annually.

Who We Are: For almost 50 years, the School For Creative & Performing Arts has been committed to providing a world-class artistic and educational experience for students.

This dual mission paves the way for students to reach their fullest potential as lifelong learners and passionate artists.

Ongoing financial support is critical to maintaining the superior quality of SCPA’s artistic and academic programs in supplementing the full program provided by Cincinnati Public Schools. Together, we must raise $625 for each of our 1,400 students to close the funding gap. These dollars make the difference by covering everything from pointe shoes to tutoring, musical instruments and critically needed theater equipment. Thank you for being our champion and for investing in our students who are the Future of the Arts!

For more information, contact Holly Schlaack (schlaack@snden.org).

Who We Are: The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur are an international congregation of women religious serving in the U.S. as well as Belgium, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Great Britain, Haiti, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa and Zimbabwe. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to Cincinnati in 1840 after they were asked by Bishop Purcell to establish schools for newly arrived immigrants in Cincinnati and surrounding towns. Following the call of Jesus, Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur live simply in the footsteps of their foundress, St. Julie Billiart. What We Do: Today, the educational focus of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur continues, as do many of the institutions we established, including Summit Country Day School, Mount Notre Dame High School and Corryville Catholic Elementary School in Cincinnati; and Trinity Washington University in Washington, DC.

Development Director: Kevin Manley Email: kmanley@ohsnd.org

How We Serve the Community: Since our beginnings in Cincinnati 180 years ago, Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have sought to uplift people who are, or who are in danger of becoming, marginalized. In the 1840s, our work was with impoverished immigrants. Later it was with freed slaves. Still later, it was with people who were hearingimpaired. To this day, we continue to serve the community by working with those least among us, those with few skills or little education, who are battling addiction, or who are homeless — to give them what they need for life — and to show them the goodness of God.

SPRINGER SCHOOL AND CENTER

How We Serve the Community: Students with LD can find success at Springer. Children enrolled in the Day School gain knowledge of their own learning profile and benefit from the individualized attention and support from our highly educated teachers. The Center's professional development programs raise awareness among local professionals and equip them to better serve the needs of their students with LD and ADHD. The Center also offers parents referrals, consulting services and classes that build understanding of the learning process and offer strategies for managing their children's learning difficulties. Additionally, the Center hosts an academic day camp program for students in the region every June and July.

Who We Are: Springer School and Center is the only school in the region devoted entirely to the education of children with learning disabilities (LD). The Day School serves 200 students in grades 1-8 with a staff-to-student ratio of 1:6. The school features research-based curriculum specially designed for children with learning disabilities. Through our outreach programs, parents and professionals develop an understanding of learning disabilities and the most effective means to address them. Springer's Center builds learning potential - one student, one parent, one educator at a time through their specialized programming. W ha t We D o : O ur D a y S c h o o l d e s i g n s a c u s t o m i z e d comprehensive academic program for each student including instruction in art, music and physical education. Students use technolog y tools that support their success at Springer and equips them for success beyond. Springer's Center provides programming for students, parents and professionals that reflects current thinking in the field of learning disabilities and the education of those with LD and ADHD. Each year, the Center hosts nationally renowned experts to address parents and professionals, conducts several in-person workshops, and offers online learning opportunities.

How You Can Help: With the generous support of donors, Springer offered more than $1,100,000 in need-based financial aid to 51 percent of our students last year. You can help by making a donation to Springer's Annual Fund or attending our annual fundraising dinner, A Springer Celebration!, on May 5th. For more information, visit Springer-LD.org/giving. Your support will help make Day School and Center programming available to more children, parents and professionals affected by learning disabilities. Springer School and Center 2121 Madison Rd. Cincinnati OH 45208 513-871-6080 Springer-LD.org Facebook.com/SpringerLD pinterest.com/SpringerLD twitter.com/SpringerLD Instagram.com/SpringerLD

Why We're Important: Research indicates that as many as one in five students may struggle with learning and/or attentional issues. In a typical classroom, LD and ADHD cause students to fall behind their peers in school. With the knowledge of their own learning profile and the strategies they gain at Springer, students will be successful in traditional classrooms, and in life beyond school. The Center serves as an important resource for equipping parents, educators, and other professionals to properly support their children with LD/ADHD to help them achieve successful outcomes.

Stepping Stones has a 59-year history of excellence and received the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award in 2016, recognizing exceptional ethics in dealings with the community, participants and staff. Our mission is to increase independence, improve lives and promote inclusion for children and adults with disabilities.

How You Can Help: • Give your time: Volunteer with trained staff in programs or in projects ranging from landscaping and camp prep to special events. • Donate: One-time or annual donations make our programs possible. • Leave a Legacy: Planned giving through a will or trust creates a legacy of support and care. • Attend an Event: Join warm-hearted supporters at the Open Your Heart dinner in February, the Golf Classic in June, the tented Bloom party in September or the Sporting Clay Tournament in October. • Share the News: Tell someone else about Stepping Stones. You could be the reason a family or a new supporter finds us.

What We Do: Stepping Stones creates pathways to independence for people with disabilities. Programs include Greater Cincinnati’s oldest Summer Day Camp for children with disabilities, Respites and overnight Staycations for teens and adults, Saturday Kids/ Young Adults Clubs providing extracurricular activities, Adult Day Services focusing on health, active lifestyle, social interaction, and independence and Step-Up alternative education for students with autism. Program sites are in Batavia, Indian Hill, Norwood and Western Hills.

Why We’re Important: Stepping Stones programs serve children, teens and adults who have disabilities and their families. At Stepping Stones, people with disabilities learn to identify and celebrate their abilities as they build confidence and greater independence. Our programs constantly reach through the disability to find the abilities that everyone has. Families find critical resources as well as a desperately needed break from constant care. Stepping Stones’ programs are a community resource that builds stronger families and stronger futures.

How We Serve the Community: Stepping Stones’ programs are a huge community resource, but the impact extends far beyond the families and individuals who use the programs. We are excited to share that we’ve reopened our volunteer program! The Stepping Stones volunteer program has changed lives and strengthened the

TAFT MUSEUM OF ART

throughout the pandemic. In addition, our annual Duncanson Artistin-Residence program recognizes the achievements of contemporary Black artists working in a variety of disciplines. The artist works in the community through public programs, workshops, and visits schools across Greater Cincinnati with past artists including Nikki Giovanni, Thom Shaw, and Vanessa German.

Who We Are: Tucked away in downtown Cincinnati, the Taft Museum of Art is a living landmark where art and history live on the walls—and in the walls. Built around 1820 as a private home for several of Cincinnati's most prominent citizens, the Taft Museum of Art is now one of the finest small art museums in America and holds National Historic Landmark status for its historic house and Duncanson murals.

How You Can Help: The Taft Museum of Art invites you to join our Light Up the Night gala on June 18, 2022 from 7—11 p.m. celebrating the completion of our Bicentennial Infrastructure Project and our restored historic house. This special event fundraiser commemorates the Taft historic house’s 200th birthday and the 90th anniversary of the Taft Museum of Art, while also supporting the impactful educational programs the Taft provides to our community. To purchase tickets to this special event, visit taftmuseum.org/Events and to learn more about our campaign to preserve and protect our treasured landmark, visit taftmuseum.org/LoveThisHouse.

What We Do: Our historic house holds an extensive collection of European and American masterworks, 17th-19th century watches, Chinese porcelains, and French Renaissance enamels. The collection features iconic artists including Rembrandt, Hals, Goya, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Turner, Ingres, Whistler, and Sargent as well as 19th-century American furniture and the most significant pre–Civil War domestic murals in the United States. Guests can enjoy special exhibitions, the historic outdoor garden, our Museum Shop and Lindner Family Café, and programming for all ages. It is all under one roof, culminating in a one-of-a-kind, multi-sensory experience that puts you at the center of art and history.

Taft Museum of Art 316 Pike Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 (513) 241-0343 taftmuseum.org @taftmuseum, #TaftHouse200

Why We’re Important: The Taft is a bastion for the arts, a champion for the arts, and not just for the people of Cincinnati, but for people everywhere. It has touched the lives of both young and old, right here in Cincinnati and across the globe. We are a place for everyone—a place you want to go for inspiration, fun, and to create memories with a friends and family.

Executive Director: Deborah Emont Scott, Louise Taft Semple President/CEO Director of Development: Jen Horvath Email: JHorvath@taftmuseum.org

How We Serve the Community: In addition to the experiences at the museum, our community outreach efforts expand our impact to schools, community centers, childcare centers, and libraries across the region. Our award-winning educational programs like Art for All Outreach and Artists Reaching Classrooms support thousands of children each year and have evolved into online and hybrid experiences
