Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation Named Signature Sponsor of America 250 Celebration
As the nation prepares to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, communities across the country are planning events that celebrate history, patriotism, and community spirit. In Perrysburg, the Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation (PRCF) has stepped forward with a $10,000 contribution to become one of three Signature Sponsors of Perrysburg’s America 250 celebration. The other Signature Sponsors are Historic Perrysburg, Inc. and the Perrysburg Chamber of Commerce.
“This celebration is about bringing our community together while honoring the history and values that connect us,” said Jack Sculfort, PRCF Executive Director. “We’re proud to support events that create lasting memories for residents and families while celebrating Perrysburg’s unique place in America’s story.”
Perrysburg’s America 250 celebration began earlier this year with Downtown Perrysburg, Inc.’s Winterfest and the Memorial Day Parade. Upcoming events include the Great Perrysburg Treasure Hunt (May–August); America 250 Weekend (June 26 & 27) at The Town Center at Levis Commons featuring a free concert by Crystal Bowersox, a 2.50 Mile Run, White & Blue Fun Run, and a Classic Car Show; a Perrysburg Community Picnic at Fort Meigs Historic Site (September 19); and Historic Perrysburg, Inc.’s free Sips and Stories trolley tours highlighting Perrysburg’s historic sites (October 24).
This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation. Established in 1986 as a 501(c)(3) organization and the philanthropic arm of the Perrysburg Rotary Club, the Foundation has dedicated itself to enhancing the quality of life throughout the greater Perrysburg community.
Since 2000, the Foundation has contributed more than $2.5 million to local and international projects and initiatives that support schools, nonprofits, civic organizations, families, and individuals in need. Its most visible investment – Perrysburg Rotary Community Park – is evidence of Rotarian time, talent and inspiration to create this Park in partnership with the City of Perrysburg. The Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation contributed $1.0 million to support the creation of this community asset.
