A MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION
Dear Friends of UA+Ed,
On behalf of the Upper Arlington Education Foundation (UA+Ed), we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who give generously to support our mission to provide meaningful opportunities to each and every student in our school district.
The UA+Ed is proud to have a wide range of annual donors including parents and guardians, community members, alumni, school district staff, and local business leaders. Your collective contributions ensure that we can continue to support and enrich the education and well-being of students in Upper Arlington.
We value our long-time relationships as well as each new friend donating for the first time this year. Thanks to attendees of this year’s Golden Bear Bash held on Sunday, September 1st. Many of you joined us in person at the Amelita Mirolo Barn and enjoyed a beautiful night featuring delicious food and drinks from 18 restaurants and caterers, live music from Howl at the Moon Columbus, and over 100 incredible live and silent auction packages. Some of you joined us remotely and won auction items from wherever you happened to be. And, some of our 2024 sponsors gave generously even though they could not be a part of the Bash at all. We appreciate you all.
We look forward to growing our friendships and making a meaningful difference for years to come.
Warm regards,
Alice Finley, Executive Director
and Matt Petersen, Board Chair
