Each year during our Catalyst fundraising event, we present the John Glenn Inspiration Award in recognition of an individual who has dedicated their life to inspiring others for the benefit of humankind, as John Glenn did. Tanny Crane was an easy choice when it came to selecting this year's winner! We are honored to celebrate her work fighting for change and supporting underserved children & communities. 

Congratulations to the recipient of the 2024 John Glenn Inspiration Award, Tanny Crane!

We had a stellar time bringing our nature-themed Learning Lunchboxes to the future scientists of Highland Park Elementary today. Each of these hands-on science kits contains everything needed for 6 activities focused on the science of nature exploration.  An early introduction to STEAM can lead to a lifelong love of science and learning— we can't wait to see where these learners go next!
 
Thank you to Breezeline for helping us get these Learning Lunchboxes into the hands of our city’s young innovators!

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we’re celebrating Almar Walter!

As the Vice President of Diversity at Columbus State Community College, he works to remove challenges faced by students when pursuing a college degree or certificate. Financial and social barriers, along with numerous other difficulties, can delay or deter people from continuing their education. Almar works to help our community achieve their educational goals!

Black history is being made every day by leaders & innovators right here in our community, like Almar! We’re proud to celebrate and support that work this month and throughout the year.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for last night's discussion on the value of DEI. We appreciate Columbus City Council President, Shannon Hardin and our CEO Frederic Bertley, PhD for leading this crucial conversation— and all of the community voices who took the discussion to the next level by offering their perspectives! 

Keep an eye out for the announcement of our next session!
