It is with great sadness, that we announce that this is the last year for the Amazing Charity Race
An annoucement this morning from the Board of Directors of the Amazing Charity Race
Dear Racers,
No one who achieves success does so without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.” – Alfred North Whitehead
A small group of us wanted to create a unique, family-fun event that challenged you physically and mentally. We weren’t certain we would run 2 Amazing Charity Races, let alone, make it to year 17!
After much consideration, The Board of The Amazing Charity Race has decided that this year’s race, to be held on Saturday June 18th, will be our final race.
We are proud of many things but most proud that we’ve been able to give back to so many deserving charitable groups that helped support the race over the years. Many volunteer’s time and talents made it possible for tens of thousands of race participants to experience a fun and unique day! We are grateful to all and want to acknowledge their tremendous work in making our adventure a reality.
We hope you can help us make this last race a memorable one! Please spread the word among friends and family to sign up for the race or to join a charitable group in volunteering. We will need each and every one of you to be successful one last time and give back to the community.
This year we are going back to our original roots, the race will be run in Loveland and Symmes Township!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
The Board of Directors

[VIDEO] Meet Dave, Jessie, and Murphy at Loveland’s new Dog Park
by David Miller
Loveland Magazine Publisher and Editor David Miller Loveland, Ohio – It was a chance encounter meeting Dave McGaughy, Jessie, and Murphy at Kiwanis Park Friday morning as I was heading back to the office from the bank. Instead of turning left into the Farm, I thought, “Oh, I wonder if they are installing the fencing in the new dog park,” I thought if the fence installers were there working it would make for a follow-up to the story I wrote last week announcing the dog play area. (Loveland’s first dog park coming soon to the West Loveland Historic District) I turned right – into Kiwanis Park in the West Loveland Historic District.
The original story I wrote two weeks ago announcing that Loveland would soon open its first dog park was very popular with readers so I knew they were excited about the park and would be interested in reading about any progress about when it would open. Instead of installers, I encountered Dave, Jessie, and Murphy heading into the now completely fenced-in dog park.
Dave, it turns out is quite the expert on dog parks and told me all about the local ones, from Miami Township to Mason. He went into detail about what he thinks makes a good one and talked about some in Florida he visits.
Dave declared the Kiwanis Park dog park the best he’s ever taken “his boys” to and was interested to know how he could volunteer to help maintain it. He has experience volunteering at other dog parks.
Dave lives just outside of Loveland in Goshen Township and was very pleased that the “best” place to take his dogs was so close to home. Dave is a retired custodian at the Loveland Primary/Elementary Campus.

The emergency fund of The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati to support Ukraine
With a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine now underway and multiple cities under fire, our concern for the safety of the Jewish community in Ukraine along with all people in the affected areas is accelerating. The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati has established an emergency fund to support the work of our global partners responding with critical services on the ground.
100% of all donations will be used to fund the local, regional, and international efforts taking place to protect those at risk.
100% of funds raised will be allocated through Jewish Federations’ core partners, The Jewish Agency for Israel, The Joint Distribution Committee and World ORT, to provide critical welfare where it is needed most and support to protect and safeguard Ukraine’s Jewish community as well as Jews in neighboring countries.

With inflation, supply-chain kinks, plight of Ohio food banks grows

For millions of Ohioans, world events are making it harder to fill their pantries and refrigerators, an official who helps oversee the state’s food banks said on Wednesday. Those pressures will only increase pantries’ need for state assistance, she said.
The coronavirus pandemic had already put pressure on the state’s food banks as demand increased and supply-chain disruptions made it harder and more expensive to get food. Now the Russian invasion of Ukraine is poised to further squeeze global flows of wheat and fuel, exacerbating those trends, said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Foodbanks.
Further complicating the picture is that the new scarcity of food is slashing commercial contributions to organizations that supply the neediest Ohioans, making them desperate for help.
“I would say that is an understatement,” Lisa Hamler-Fugitt said. “Overall, donations are down substantially. Before we went into the pandemic, private-sector donations from food manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and local food and fund drives would range from 45% to 50 % of all we had to distribute. Since the pandemic that has declined dramatically.”
Lisa Hamler-Fugitt Now the portion donated by commercial suppliers is closer to 33% at the same time that costs to purchase and transport food are growing. Consider:
- Eggs that cost food banks 40 cents a pound in 2019 now cost 94 cents, a 135% increase.
- Ground beef that cost $2.14 a pound in 2019 costs $2.84, a 33% increase.
- Pasta has gone from 42 cents a pound in 2019 to 70 cents now, a 66% hike.
Also, a $2,000 per-child tax credit expired in December, plunging an estimated 10 million American children and 280,000 in Ohio back into poverty. Hamler-Fugitt said that of families receiving the credit, 59% said food was their No. 1 expense, so its expiration is increasing demand at Ohio food banks even as costs go up.
“Families that were standing in grocery store lines are back in our food pantries,” she said.
Federal data appear to support that claim. The Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey estimated that about a month after the credit expired, 339,000 Ohio families with children sometimes or often didn’t have enough to eat in the past seven days.
Compare that to the period from Sept. 15-27 when the credit was in full force. Then an estimated 264,000 Ohio families with children sometimes or often didn’t have enough to eat, the survey said.
If those estimates are accurate, that means food insecurity for families with children has leapt 28% since the expiration of the child tax credit.
In addition to all the other inflationary pressures on food, Hamler-Fugitt said she suspected another: price gouging.
“I hear from the farmers saying, ‘We’re not making any more money.’ How is that possible?” she said.
In his State of the Union Address Tuesday, President Joe Biden echoed that suspicion. He said concentration in the meatpacking industry is alarmingly high.
“Guess what, you got four basic meat packing facilities,” he said. “That’s it. You play with them or you don’t get to play at all. And you pay a hell of a lot more. A hell of a lot more because there’s only four.”
The White House estimates that those four companies — JBS, Cargill, National Beef Packing and Tyson Foods — control 85% of beef packing in the United States, 54% of poultry and 70% of pork. The administration says it’s making an effort to promote competition in those sectors and across the economy.
But even if those efforts are eventually successful, Hamler-Fugitt said Ohio food banks need help more quickly. She praised the support they’ve gotten from Gov. Mike DeWine throughout the pandemic, but said the food centers need $183 million for supplies, operating costs and to upgrade their infrastructure.
Ohio has more than $600 million in unexpended funds from the American Rescue Act and about $500 million more is on the way, Hamler-Fugitt said. A DeWine spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
