Carter David E. Cohn, MD, MBA

A TEAM ALWAYS ON POINT He got the call just as he was leaving the gym. How could someone who felt so healthy have acute myeloid leukemia (AML)? “I lost a sister to leukemia, so I was shocked and scared,” says Drake Mosby. “I was left with a lot of thoughts and spent about three hours just staring at the walls. Telling my family was tough.” The first time Drake had heard about The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) was in connection to Pelotonia, the three-day experience of cycling, entertainment and volunteerism that raises millions of dollars for cancer research. “I never thought I’d be a patient there, but I had heard a lot of good things about it, so the decision to go there was pretty easy,” he says. “My family was in Cleveland, and I know a lot of people want to feel close to home during treatment, but I wanted to go where I needed to survive.” Drake understands the emotions

involved in choosing the right place for cancer care, but he emphasizes the importance of finding the right experts. His AML came back twice after his initial remission, and among other health challenges, he battled through difficult side effects from three rounds of chemo, multiple bone marrow transplants and a round of sepsis, an extreme response to an infection that is a life-threatening medical emergency. As he describes all of this, Drake stresses that his entire care team, including current hematologists Alice Mims, MD, and Karilyn Larkin, MD, were “always on point,” adding, “The nurses and nurse practitioners in the hospital and hematology clinic were great as well. They always gave excellent care.” “I always felt that everyone was on top of things and knew what they were doing,” he says. “I never had to chase down answers, and if something was off, they followed up and made sure issues were handled before they got worse. Because there was no delay in my care, I felt there was never a stone unturned and recovered from each setback quickly.” He’s quick to add, “At the same time, they were just so nice – and they knew me for me. Even during COVID, when I couldn’t have visitors, I never felt alone at The James. The nurses and PCAs were always there in the room taking care of me or checking on me to make sure I was OK.” Now years post-treatment, Drake has moved, but he returns to The James for follow-up care. “I could have transferred to another doctor, but I don’t mind the drive back to Columbus. This is where I’m comfortable, and this is where I’m confident that they’ll do whatever’s needed to take care of me.”

WHO WE ARE

Jewish Family Services is committed to helping individuals and families achieve economic self-sufficiency and emotional stability. We welcome individuals of all faiths, races and economic circumstances. WHAT WE DO

We provide integrated, individualized services to help people find good jobs and companies find talent, support older adults navigate the challenges of aging, help newly arriving refugees integrate, connect people to community resources, and empower family self-sufficiency. WHY JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES

We do a lot of good, but we’re also economic engines. Individuals who secure employment now have health insurance—they do not need to rely on public benefits. They are paying taxes, saving to buy cars and homes and spending in local businesses. This means local businesses are able to hire the talent they need. Supporting seniors and caregivers also saves taxpayer dollars and helps caregivers who wish to stay in the workforce. If you multiply that over time, it tells a dramatic story of the economic impact our agency has on this community.

In FY23 we helped 630 people find new jobs at average wages of nearly $22/hour. In a one-year period, those individuals will earn $28.5 million in wages and pay $7 million in taxes. HOW YOU CAN HELP

An investment in Jewish Family Services has a ripple effect on individual families and creates positive returns for the whole community. Your unrestricted gift allows us the flexibility to tailor services to meet community needs.

The Ohio State Bar Foundation (OSBF), the largest Bar Foundation in the United States, is a 501(c)(3) grant-making organization working to improve the public understanding of the rule of law and to build a better justice system. WHAT WE DO

The OSBF awards more than $1 million annually in support of Ohio nonprofits and projects that align with the OSBF’s mission. Since 1992, the Foundation has awarded more than $16 million to dozens of law-related organizations and projects across Ohio. In August 2020, the OSBF announced its new Racial Justice Initiative, providing grant funding to focus on projects that specifically identify, address and challenge systemic racism. Since then, the initiative has granted over $1 million to support the pursuit of racial justice and public understanding of the rule of law for historically marginalized communities of color in Ohio . ATTORNEYS GIVE BACK

We are able to work toward our mission thanks to our Fellows, member attorneys of the Foundation. OSBF Fellows are an elite group of Ohio lawyers who give their time, talent and treasure so that we can give more and do more. Each year, we welcome a new class of Fellows, and each class designs its own class experience, creating a Fellows Week of Service centered around a topic they choose.

RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE

We don’t let the good deeds of Ohio attorneys or organizations go unnoticed. Every year, we honor excellence through our All Rise Annual Awards Celebration, recognizing people and organizations who give back to their communities through service and work to improve the justice system throughout the state of Ohio. CREATING A MORE JUST OHIO

Alvis, Inc. is a nonprofit human services agency with over 50 years of experience providing the encouragement and tools people need to turn their lives around. We call it the Alvis 180 Degree Impact. Alvis serves approximately 10,000 individuals with justice involvement and their families, those facing addiction issues and their families, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. OUR MISSION To innovate and deliver evidence-based human services programs that empower those we serve to build successful and productive lives. OUR VISION That communities believe each person’s potential is more important than their past. BUILDING HOPE One of Alvis’s greatest challenges has always been how to provide services to all of the people who seek us out and how to provide the complex continuum of care that will address the multiple needs of those we serve. In an effort to overcome that challenge, and address the need for affordable housing for our Amethyst program, we’re working on a permanent solution. For more than 30 years, Amethyst has provided client-centered recovery services in a safe, sober community for drug and alcohol dependent women and women with children. The key to the success of this program is housing. Currently, Alvis is embarking on a capital campaign, Building Hope, to construct 52 permanent units of housing for the Amethyst program. This will increase our capacity by 236%, more

than doubling the number of women and children we are able to serve. Additionally, we will be building out 13,000 square feet of office and programing space to create a campus for the treatment our families receive. Philanthropic support has always been a vital component to support our Amethyst program. This program has successfully helped thousands with their recovery, trauma, substance use disorder and mental health. We are absolutely thrilled to have a solution that not only ensures that we won’t be closing, but that we will be expanding and be able to serve this community for many years to come.

The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Ohio (BGCCO) is to enable young people to reach their full potential. Our vision is for all young people, regardless of their zip code or circumstances, to have the opportunity to achieve a great future. Although much has changed since our organization was founded in 1948 as a single, stand-alone Club, our core mission has remained the same. Today, we have grown from one Clubhouse in Columbus to serving thousands of kids across three counties in Central Ohio. Whether it be a traditional or schoolbased site, each of our Clubs provides kids a safe, engaging space to learn, grow, and prepare for their futures. Within these spaces, nurturing profes-

sional and trusting relationships with members, teaching and showing them that they are valued, that they matter, and that they are more than their circumstances. A typical day at the Club includes future readiness programming, nutritious meals, recreation, friendship and mentorship and a place to call home and belong. Though it costs us an estimated $25 per day, per child, we charge members just $0.50 per day for the unlimited opportunities that the Club offers. Thanks to our dynamic and dedicated community of families, staff, and partners, we can continue to provide kids and teens a rich, outcome-driven Club experience that results in a powerful force for changing lives.

The Breathing Association cares for the most vulnerable members of the community with no-cost health care and utility and water assistance through the HEAP program. Our Lung Health Clinic specializes in lung health care and also offers a wide variety of services for the whole family. 100 percent of every donation goes to care for patients in our clinic by breaking down barriers to care and bringing health equity to all. We break the barriers of cost, transportation and mobility with our clinic, two mobile units, a program that brings care to the places where seniors live called At Home for Seniors, as well as a new telehealth program called VirtuWell. The Breathing Association provides no-cost tobacco and nicotine cessation programs for all ages and stages of addiction. Elevating New Moms is a program for expectant and new mothers to promote infant vitality through cessation. For youth, our Kick the Nic program focuses to

prevent vaping through education on the dangers of using vapes. For adults and groups, we have the Quit for Good program, a support program for cessation. Our founder believed that EVERY person deserves quality, compassionate care 117 years ago regardless of the ability to pay, and we still carry that mission forward every day. When you decide to give to The Breathing Association Lung Health Clinic, you are helping a student get asthma help they need to not miss days of school, a grandma learn how to ease her symptoms of COPD, an uncle to get the vaccines he needs or someone’s brother to quit smoking. Who will you help this giving season? DECEMBER 2023 COLUMBUS MONTHLY

CREATING SOCIAL CHANGE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS

Pregnancy changes everything. And for youth parents, it’s even more uncertain and difficult. What if youth had help navigating the challenges they face? They could create a brighter future for themselves and a world of opportunity for their children. At the Center for Healthy Families, we believe every vulnerable girl and young woman, especially pregnant and parenting youth, should have opportunities and resources to develop stable and productive families and futures. Mothers at the Center graduate high school at twice the national average. “Once I opened up and allowed them to help me, I began flourishing,” says Pasha, a college student and mother of twins. “Anything I wasn’t sure about, they either informed me or put me in touch with somebody who could help...I never once felt judged or like I was wrong for anything.”

“At the Center, we create change by giving young parents the opportunity to turn stumbling blocks into stepping-stones,” says president and CEO Toshia Safford. “The reality is, children are expensive. The families we serve have not had the skills, opportunities or sometimes the knowledge to accumulate wealth, and often don’t live in environments where wealth will be given to them.”

The Center works with each young family individually to identify their needs and develops attainable goals to address any housing, health, financial or crisis issues. Each young family has a skilled and credentialed professional to work with for up to 24 months, providing support in the home or school, or filling in the gaps where the young parent may need it.

For the families served by the Center, nine out of 10 delay a second pregnancy, compared to 25 percent nationally. Nine out of 10 participants have healthy babies. The Center takes a holistic approach for the well-being of youth and their families, which leads to productive lives. It shows when you see alumni come back and share their stories of how they’ve succeeded in life. DECEMBER 2023 COLUMBUS MONTHLY

The Columbus Medical Association (CMA) Foundation has a long history of investing in the health and wellbeing of our community. Since 1958, we have served as the CMA physician’s voice to spark innovative programs that solve health and wellness issues impacting Central Ohioans. The Foundation’s grant-making philosophy prioritizes initiatives that offer significant, constructive change in health systems. We are committed to improving the delivery and coordination of healthcare services to uninsured, underinsured and vulnerable populations; saving and improving lives through the coordination of trauma and emergency healthcare resources across a regionalized system; and teaching physicians to improve the patient/ provider relationship by combining wellness with leadership. The Foundation is actively committed to developing the next generation of physicians and philanthropists through its two youth programs: Made for Medicine and the Youth Advisory Council. Made for Medicine is a programmatic solution designed to remedy the underrepresentation of African Americans in the medical field. It provides African American youth (grades 6-12) with interests in medical careers

with critical foundational knowledge, hands-on learning, simulations, mentoring and more through a threephased, six-year program. The Youth Advisory Council provides a platform for youth (ages 13-18) to engage in healthcare philanthropy and prepares them for futures in community leadership. The Council has granted more than $321,000 since 2001 to support programs that target healthcare and wellness issues affecting youth such as mental health needs, addiction/substance abuse disorder, reproductive health, bullying, self-esteem, equity and inclusion and general basic needs.

At Communities In Schools (CIS) of Ohio, our mission is to surround students across the state with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Struggling students and their families have a hard time accessing and navigating the maze of public and private services. There may be ample resources in a community, but rarely is there someone on the ground who is able to connect these resources with the schools and students that need them most. We do this through school-based coordinators that bring local support and resources into the school and work to do whatever it takes to ensure that all kids, regardless of the challenges they may face, have what they need to succeed in school and beyond. CIS is helping kids stay in school by applying a multi-tiered system of supports, led by our school-based Site Coordinators, designed to mitigate the

root problem(s) that preclude students from learning and help close the achievement gap. This includes schoolwide initiatives, small groups and case management of individual students. Our evidenced-based model connects students to caring adults and community resources to transform how they see and experience the world around them. Whether a student is struggling to cope with an emotional stressor at home or is dealing with complex trauma and grief, CIS provides students with social emotional health and wellness support. Trained CIS professionals provide trauma-informed interventions that alleviate emotional and behavioral challenges, enhance coping skills, improve student social-emotional well-being and in turn, improve academic achievement. We hope you’ll be able to join CIS of Ohio as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary during the 2023-2024 school year. Learn more at: ciskids.org.

Future Ready Five is the leading collective impact organization taking a holistic approach to kindergarten readiness in Franklin County. In pursuit of equity, access and inclusion, our focus is developing systems, elevating early childhood education and inspiring advocacy. At Future Ready Five, we are motivated by the kindergarten readiness crisis facing Franklin County. 65% of children in Franklin County are NOT prepared for kindergarten. Black and Latino children face an even more significant disparity. 78% of Black children and 85% of Latino children are unprepared. OUR WORK:

The FR5 Focus Plan will create an early learning ecosystem in Franklin County. By focusing on collaborative and coordinated systems and early childhood center growth, this ecosystem will ensure that every child in Franklin County is ready for kindergarten by 2030. Here’s how: • Identify a common set of priority standards and assessments: FR5 will research and select an assessment aligned with KRA whole-child standards. • Establish a shared data and referral system: Parents and Learning Guides will work together to develop a child’s Personal Learning Plan. • Pilot in key Franklin County com-

•

munities: Up to 200 children will be included in our program pilot. Work with pilot centers to fill every early childhood classroom space with children and highly qualified staff. Pilot establishing systems and processes: To permanently engage economically disadvantaged, Black, Latino and immigrant parents’/guardians’ voices in kindergarten readiness strategy and implementation, FR5 will establish regular focus groups with guardians and a parent policy team.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: A donation to Future Ready Five is an investment in the children of Franklin County and our future workforce. Kindergarten-ready children are more likely to graduate from high school, stay out of the justice system and earn higher lifetime wages. Join us and ensure that every child reaches their full potential. DECEMBER 2023 COLUMBUS MONTHLY

The mission of Heinzerling Community is to provide a loving and nurturing environment that enriches the development, education and quality of life for individuals with severe or profound developmental disabilities. A staff of 430 works around the clock to nurture and develop each resident. This is accomplished through a personalized approach involving many supports, including physical and occupational therapy, communication and social skills, life skills, nursing, nutritional plans, and sensory development for residents. These activities occur at Heinzerling Community and during community outings.

SUPPORT OPTIONS Donate – individual donations provide our residents with adaptive equipment for therapy, daily living, personal care items, and opportunities to attend community outings. Donate at heinzerling. org/get-involved/donate.

Heinzerling Community provides an important resource for families and is the only service provider in Central Ohio that focuses on individuals with severe or profound developmental disabilities. Many families seek us out to care for their loved one if they are unable to do so in their own home. Families maintain an active role in their family member’s life while Heinzerling Community provides the day to day care.

Sponsorship opportunities – Support our events with a sponsorship for our annual auction gala, and our annual golf classic.

Volunteer - We are currently looking for volunteer groups to spend time doing planned activities with our residents. This is a great opportunity for corporate teams, organizations, and school-age youth. We are also in need of volunteers to join and support our fundraising event committee.

This year’s events included Opening Ceremony and Ride Weekend in August and a new Gravel Day event in September.

Star House’s mission is to do whatever it takes to lift youth out of homelessness and into a community of hope. Star House operates Central Ohio’s only drop-in center for youth, ages 14-24, who are experiencing homelessness. At our drop-in center, youth are provided access to food, clothing, hygiene items, laundry facilities, showers and a safe place to be. Beyond basic needs, out clinical team provides therapy and case management, and partner agencies provide on-site and community-based access to stabilizing resources such as housing, transportation, health care, employment, education, addiction services, legal aid, government benefits, ID cards and more. In addition, Star House, along with the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) and Finance Fund, jointly owns and operates Carol Stewart Village (CSV), an affordable housing neighborhood for youth coming out of homelessness, ages 18-24. CSV offers 62 studio apartments and on-site access to transitional jobs, education, health care, mental health and addiction services, and social connections through mentorships, peer support and community engagement options.

Thanks to project-based vouchers provided by CMHA, residents have the opportunity to live at CSV for up to seven years while they acquire the credentials and experience necessary to thrive in long-term housing stability. CSV is part of a National Institutes of Health study, the HOME Project, facilitated by the Ohio State University, which assesses for the first time the correlation between youth having a home and the prevention of opioid addiction.

United Way of Central Ohio started with the spark of an idea, which grew into a united movement that continues to thrive 100 years later. Together as one community, we’ve strengthened families and supported youth so they can become the dreamers and doers of tomorrow. Even as we’ve evolved to meet community needs, we remain steadfastly committed to achieving results that change lives and create a more equitable central Ohio. And we’re just getting started. With our network of nonprofit partners, corporate supporters and dedicated donors, we will make the next 100 years our brightest. Our energy is vibrant, our spirit is bold and we’re poised to help shape the future of Central Ohio for all of us. A VISION FOR THE FUTURE:

Our young learners are tomorrow’s leaders and workforce. To build a strong future for our community, our children must have equitable opportunities to succeed. Through Success by Third Grade, United Way has joined forces with

corporations, school districts, nonprofits, individual donors and volunteers and government organizations to ensure every child in Franklin County is on a path to success by the time they leave third grade. The ability to read by third grade plays a significant role in a child’s success later in life. Success by Third Grade is centered on parents, caregivers and students who are most in need of support, identifying and directly impacting barriers inhibiting student achievement. Together, we can create a community where every child has the resources and opportunities necessary to learn, develop and succeed. OPPORTUNITIES:
