Kettering Cardiovascular Institute
Originally launched with a capital campaign, the Kettering Cardovascular Institute (KCVI) brings together the physicians and surgeons of Dayton's leading heart program at Athens Medical Center with the latest in research. Funding for the program comes from generous donors plus the receipts from the Foundation's annual Heart to Heart Gala. These funds continue to provide leading edge medical equipment, specialized cardiac and vascular education, patient programs, and community outreach in heart attack and stroke prevention.

Kettering College
With the recent completion of its new facilities in the Boonshoft Center for Medical Sciences, the College's most pressing need is for scholarships to support deserving and needy students. Donors can endow scholarships or fund them annually. In doing so you can focus on a specific program and help set criteria for selecting student recipients. Scholarships can also be named for someone of your choosing, an excellent way to honor or memorialize a loved one.

For additional information, please call Kathryn Keyes, College Development Officer, at 937-395-8607.
