Ebeid Children's Hospital, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio.
In 1995 the Jamie Farr Scholarship Fund created yet another way to support the youth of the Toledo region. Each year since its inception, northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan high school seniors have received scholarships toward their college education. The $3,000 scholarship is renewable for up to an additional three years. In order to renew the scholarship, the recipient must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 and have financial need.

Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity (MVHFH) has a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. MVHFH’s Homeownership program creates opportunities for affordable homeownership by building and selling homes with a 0% interest mortgage to qualifying applicants. The Women Build, being supported through a grant from the Dana Open, is a unique volunteer build experience in which an entire home is built and funded by women in our community, for a woman in our community. Additionally, MVHFH’s Home Preservation programs grant qualified homeowners critical repairs that include roof replacements, lead abatement, and code standard upgrades. All of this work stabilizes neighborhoods and provides hope to families and children in Lucas County.
