How to Create Community: An Inspiring Story from 2024
As 2024 nears its final sunrise I want to share with you all one of my favorite stories from this year. Over the summer we received a visit from a...
Support Greynolds Classic!
The Classic honors legendary Barberton basketball coach Jack Greynolds, who passed away in 2005. Proceeds go to Lake Anna YMCA, Esther Ryan Shoe Fund, Barberton City Schools, and the Larry Bidlingmyer “Mr. Bid” Outdoor Education Fund for youth programs, equipment, and stroke awareness education. Thank you for your support of this event!
We envision an improved quality of life for Barberton residents, now and forever.
Meet the Artists behind Barberton Community Foundation’s Student Art Gallery
Barberton Community Foundation selected 10 pieces of student art from the B-Art Gallery Show. These pieces are on display in the Foundation’s meeting room until November 7, when they’ll be auctioned at the Annual Dinner. Stop by to see the artwork, and read more about our student artists!
Celebrating our Scholarship Award Recipients
Congratulations to our newest scholarship recipients! Each year, Barberton Community Foundation partners with Barberton City School District to make more than $400,000 in scholarship awards.
Bringing the History of Barberton to Life
Barberton’s third grade students learn about local history as a part of their social studies curriculum. Now, thanks to a grant from Barberton Community Foundation, local author Conrad Storad has been commissioned by the schools to write a book on local history and update the class and bring the history of Barberton to life.
