Congratulations to the incredible nonprofits who pitched innovative ideas to better our community. What an amazing group: Freedom a la Cart, Furniture Bank of Central Ohio, Modcon Living, ECDI, YMCA of Central Ohio, Equitas Health, and ROX (Ruling Our eXperiences)!

Meet Columbus' National Number Ones! This group fills us with pride and displays our city’s extraordinary talent and capacity for greatness—as recognized with achievements by their industry peers.

Come springtime, Recreation Unlimited will be making music in their outdoor garden! Thanks to those who supported this Better Together project, youth with disabilities will experience the joys of music & nature in this fun, updated therapeutic setting.

We're Better Together!

As opiate overdoses continued to skyrocket, Shawn Holt had been Maryhaven’s President and CEO for only months. Working closely with the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County (ADAMH) and other partners on the front lines of the crisis, they came up with an idea to create an innovative new treatment option for clients battling opiate addiction.

Thank you, Columbus! You made The Big Explore an historic day filled with excitement and discovery. Thank you for working with us to create a strong and connected community.
