There’s something special about looking back in time. As we sort through old photographs and documents from the Centerville-Washington Foundation, we’re reminded of the people, generosity, and community spirit that have shaped our story since 1998.

Each photograph and document offers a glimpse into our history and the lasting impact of local philanthropy. While so much has changed over the years, one thing remains the same: the power of people coming together to make a difference in the community they call home.

We are honored to be recognized by the The Dayton Foundation for the Excellence in Community Leadership for our Brad Bucher Elk Pride Never Dies Memorial Fund.

Brad Bucher, a 1975 Centerville High School graduate and lifelong supporter of his alma mater, left a lasting legacy through the Brad Bucher Elk Pride Never Dies Memorial Fund. The fund helps remove financial barriers so Centerville students can participate in school activities and opportunities. Brad’s generosity continues to make a difference for Centerville students.

Thank you Dayton Foundation for this honor and to all who have supported this fund over the past several years. Follow this link to learn more about the fund or to donate: centervillewashingtonfoundation.com/brad-bucher-epnd-memorial-fund/
