2 0 1 0 a n n u a l r e p o r t 2010 events Each March, the Community Foundation partners with the Union Centre Boulevard Merchant Association and West Chester Township to host the Shamrock Shuffle. In 2010, the Shuffle attracted more than 1,200 registrants who participated in the 5k run/walk or 10k run. Following the Run/Walk the participants were treated to a variety of breakfast goodies provided by our generous sponsors, including; Champps, Panera Bread, Starbucks and Dingle House Irish Pub. In addition, hundreds of children, ages 3-10, participated in the Leprechaun Lap sponsored by IKEA. 2010 proceeds totaled more than $20,000, doubling the proceeds made in 2009. The Shamrock Shuffle is the brainchild of Founders Shellie Leder and Melissa Benedict and is made possible by the cooperation of West Chester Township and the Union Centre Boulevard Merchant Association. It is a wonderful showcase of our community. 14 to support the Community Foundation’s operating Fund and Community Grants Fund, the Community Foundation hosts a variety of fundraising events. thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and event attendees our 2010 fundraisers had a record-breaking year, raising more than $200,000. this success, allowed the Foundation’s Board of Directors to take the momentous step of establishing an endowment for the Community Grants Fund. the Board opened this Fund with a $20,000 gift to the future of our Community Grants. this endowment will continue to grow each year, maximizing the impact the Foundation is able to have on our community through its grantmaking process. this tremendous milestone would not have been possible without the generous support of our local businesses, families and individuals who faithfully support our fundraising endeavors. our thanks to each and every one of you! For the fourth year in a row, philanthropists extraordinaire Becky and Todd Wilber, owners of Uno’s Chicago Grill, hosted their annual Dough raiser to benefit The Community Foundation. This popular community event is a wonderful opportunity for folks to come together for great food and drink while raising money for the Community Foundation. This volunteerdriven event raised more than $9,600 to benefit the Community Grants Fund at the Foundation.
Driven by the ever-vigilant and singularly-focused Key event Chair, Gail Jackson Miller, and her phenomenal Key Event Committee, the Key Event became the Foundation’s most successful fundraiser to date raising more than $120,000! With more than 460 people in attendance, the cocktail party was rockin’ with guests vying for highly sought-after auction items such as tickets to “Dancing with the Stars;” a dinner party for 12 hosted by The Speaker of the House John A. Boehner and his lovely wife, Debbie; plus trips, condos and a dinner hosted in the State Capitol by Carolyn and State Representative Bill Coley. Of course, the highlight of the evening were the dinners prepared by local chefs in the 25 Host Homes. Following dinner, guests traveled to the Alderson home to mingle, compare notes and dance to the music of the Modulators. Each year the Community Foundation hosts two signature events…The Community Golf Classic and the Key Event. During these tough economic times, the generosity of this community is especially sweet. On August 2, we held our 11th annual Community Golf Classic raising a record $61,000 to benefit the Foundation. Our applause and gratefulness to the generous support of all of our loyal business sponsors and in-kind donors with special thanks to the returning Presenting Sponsors North Ridge Realty Group and Clark-Theders Insurance Agency, Inc. The event, with golf at both Wetherington and Four Bridges Golf Clubs, went off flawlessly under the leadership of the Golf Committee Co-Chairs Rick Prinz and Dan Winterhalter and their ever supportive Committee and dedicated volunteers. A great day was had by all… especially the 180 dedicated Golfers who are the backbone of the event. 15
