In honor of UWF’s 65th year in 2022
1990 Campaign Chair Fred Jacobs asked Frank Kinn to create a recognition program for major donors to United Way of Fostoria. Frank said, “yes” and has chaired the highly successful Leadership Society ever since. All 32 years he
and his wife, Dolores, have set an example of generosity and graciousness. We are forever grateful to Frank for his exceptional commitment to community.
