2012 new funds
The Community Foundation is pleased to announce the
establishment of the following charitable funds in 2012:
Dr. Masood and Shakila Ahmad
Scholarship Fund
The purpose of the Dr. Masood and Shakila Ahmad
Scholarship is to recognize and encourage Interfaith
and Civic Engagement in our community with a $1,000
scholarship to a student graduating from Mason High
School, Sycamore High School, St. Xavier High School
or any school in Butler County. It is awarded to a senior
who is committed to, and has exhibited excellence
through, Interfaith and Civic Service engagement in
his/her community and region. The student should
demonstrate his/her activities around the value and
benefits of reaching across faith communities, dialogue
and collaboration with others regardless of religion, race
or ethnicity for serving the greater good and building a
stronger community.
Financial Management Group Charitable Fund
Matthew and Andrea King Servant Leadership
Scholarship Fund
The Caring Like Karen Fund was established in
memory of the ultimate caregiver, Karen Mason. Karen
lived her life to make others happy. As a caregiver, she
was unsurpassed. Her definition of a good day was
when the person in her care was waited upon, cared for
and smiling. If that didn’t happen, Karen wasn’t happy.
She was the “perfect caregiver.” The Caring Like Karen
Fund will present annual awards to caregivers who
emulate Karen’s love and patience for those in their
care.
David and Dina Wilder Fund
The SEBC Leadership 21 Class of 2011 has
established the Leadership 21 Class of 2011
Benefit Run Fund. Each year the Class of 2011 will
host a Benefit Run to support a charitable cause in
the community. Proceeds from the Run will be granted
to the selected cause/s. In 2012, the Class voted
that the proceeds from the event would benefit The
Edge Teen Center.
The Lungs on the Run Fund was established to
raise awareness and money for lung cancer research in
the Greater Cincinnati area. This commitment is made
by hosting a 5K run/walk and one-mile walk each year.
Over the past 3 years, nearly $30,000 has been awarded
to the Cincinnati Cancer Center, a collaborative effort
among Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center,
UC College of Medicine, and UC Health.
