2024 Frank J. Kinn Leadership Society

  

Gene Schalk—possibly the longest-standing donor to the United Way of Fostoria—chaired this year’s Leadership Society campaign with great success. Gene made his first gift in 1958, just one year after UWF was founded, and has remained a steadfast

supporter ever since.


The Leadership Society was established in 1990 by Frank Kinn to recognize major donors. Frank led the Society for 32 years, setting a lasting example of generosity and gracious leadership. Gene, a close friend of Frank and a fellow pillar of the Fostoria community, continued that legacy with dedication and heart.


United Way of Fostoria strengthens our community by supporting programs focused on education,income, health, and the social safety net. We fund local nonprofits, award community grants, and connect residents to vital services through First


Call For Help Fostoria. Every dollar raised goes directly to support services for Fostorians

Founded in 1957 by concerned citizens, United Way of Fostoria is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and proud member of United Way Worldwide.
