DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Your Mercer County Civic Foundation supported a multi-tude of heart-warming, purposeful initiatives this past year, touching lives in untold ways. Our donors and fund holders choose to see beauty in the world, even when confronted with difficult situations. Is there anything better than filling others’ lives with joy? We are so blessed to build more than bridges. Together we connect people and resources in untold ways, creating better places to live, work and experience life. I’m reminded daily that kind people are everywhere. Look around. You’ll be inspired by the dedication of others, just as you inspire others with your own charitable spirit.

It is truly a privilege to work with and for all of you through this Foundation. I cherish our connections and our ability to transform common, ordinary days into joyous opportunities and blessings.

Carol Hone Director

Scholarship Season is one of the wonderful times of the year!

Pictured below are some of the Celina High School graduates who graciously accepted grants from our many scholarship funds. In 2018, we helped launch 126 graduates throughout our county (and beyond) with scholarships totaling $132,759.00

Ft. Recovery’s guidance counse-lor, Amy Kaiser, presents the 2018 Operation Freedom Support Scholarship to Sophie Timmerman. This scholarship is awarded at each county school to a graduate whose family mem-ber has ties to the Armed Forces. We thank ALL of our military families for their service.

“I appreciate all the time and

hard work the Civic Foundation

takes into choosing and

distributing scholarships each

year. All of the work that

everyone at the Foundation

does greatly helps out many

students like me who have high

aspirations for themselves but

just need a little help achieving

these goals financially.”

“I will use this to further

my education and become the

adult and young man that

Andrew and I would want

me to be. Andrew will

always be there to support

and cheer me on through a

difficult quiz or lengthy

presentation. I plan to keep

in touch. Thanks again!
