Jim and Ceale Myers Summer Concert Series

Back by popular demand, the Jim and Ceale Myers Summer Concert Series is returning for its third season this summer at Ohio Living Breckenridge Village. Featuring four or five outdoor concerts in the Grace Woods gazebo, the resident-exclusive concert series is made possible because of the Jim and Ceale Myers Summer Concert Series Endowment.

Jim and Ceale Myers were beloved residents at Grace Woods, an independent living area of Ohio Living Breckenridge Village. Not only was the couple extremely active in campus activities, but they also maintained a host of strong friendships that enriched their lives. After they both passed, their son worked with the Ohio Living Foundation team to create a lasting gift in their memory.

“My parents loved their years living at Grace Woods and the many friends they had on campus,” explained Jamie Myers, son of Ohio Living Breckenridge Village residents Jim and Ceale Myers. “It’s an honor to keep their spirit alive through a permanent endowment gift to the Ohio Living Foundation. Residents will enjoy this summer concert series for many years to come.”

The Jim and Ceale Myers Summer Concert Series offers outdoor concerts in a variety of genres, including steel drums, jazz, Motown, rhythm and blues, and standards, like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. All offerings are free for independent living residents at Ohio Living Breckenridge Village. Some bring their own lawn chairs to the gazebo to enjoy the music up-close, and others opt to enjoy the live entertainment from their own porch or patio. 

“Everyone looks forward to the concerts," added Jean Lach, an independent living resident at Ohio Living Breckenridge Village. "They provide a wonderful opportunity for our community to gather and for friends to enjoy an evening of music in our ‘front yards.’ Where else can you listen to birds sing alongside a guitar or keyboard or trombone? It is a fun time for all who attend…pets included!”

“Residents are so grateful for the generosity of the Myers family and this incredible tribute,” said Eva Allen, director of gift planning at Ohio Living Breckenridge Village. “Legacy giving is a wonderful way for donors to extend their philanthropic impact beyond their lifetime.”

Huntington Bank Commits $100K to Advance Workforce Investment Priorities

Huntington Bank is partnering with Ohio Living to invest $100,000 in the senior living provider’s Workforce Investment Strategy. An array of employee-focused programs and resources are earmarked to be funded through the charitable gift, from solutions for caregiver and childcare assistance to transportation. The gift marks the first $100,000 corporate donation to the Ohio Living Foundation and aligns with Huntington Bank’s core giving areas of focus: community revitalization and stabilization, community services, affordable housing, economic and community development, and racial/social equity.

Dana Ullom-Vucelich, Chief Human Resources Officer shared, “We have had strong success in building great culture at Ohio Living. We have received Great Place to Work national designation for seven consistent years, and Fortune’s Top 25 Best Workplaces in Aging Services for five years. In addition to great culture, we wish to invest in our team members holistically to address the barriers and challenges they may face outside of work. When we are able to do that successfully, it is a win for our staff and their families, as well as our residents and patients who receive continuity of care and services.”

Our corporate partners play a vital role in optimizing aging and ensuring the highest quality health care and services are provided to Ohioans as they age. We work with companies to understand their goals, match philanthropic passions to our vital needs, and maximize overall partnership impact.

“Huntington Bank’s benevolence will afford us some initiatives we would otherwise not be able to do without their support and the commitment of other generous donors,” Ullom-Vucelich avowed.
