Philanthropy 101
Wall Street 101 Students Learn about Philanthropy
Philanthropy 101 was founded in 2014 by Trustee Joel Frydman. The competition continues to inspire Oakwood students to consider the impact and importance of charitable giving.
Juniors and Seniors enrolled in Wall Street 101 at Oakwood High School are eligible to participate. In mid-November, as part of “Charity Week”, students split into groups to learn more deeply about local area philanthropies through interviews and site visits. For their class final, the students then present to a group of community judges to compete for a cash contribution that is donated to the charity of their choice. The program has a lasting impact on the student and fosters the spirit of charity and philanthropy.
OSF deeply appreciates ongoing financial support from the Angela & Joel Frydman family, Johnson Investment Counsel, and Abby & Robert Wagner, with addtional support from Jessup Wealth Management and The Dayton Foundation.
We would also like to thank Lee & Patti Schear, Kurt & Lisa Sanford and Johnson Investment Counsel for their support of the Philanthropy 101 endowment which seeks to sustain this special program for years to come.
