    Ohio Valley Voices Celebrates GivingTuesday to Fund Programs in 2023

    Miami Township, Ohio – Ohio Valley Voices’ Emerging Leaders Group (ELG) is hosting an event for GivingTuesday at Bishop’s Quarter in Loveland, joining millions around the world participating in the global generosity movement on November 29th, 2022.

    Ohio Valley Voices (OVV) is an early intervention program that helps children who are deaf and hard of hearing learn how to speak and listen through the use of cochlear implants and hearing aids. The GivingTuesday event will aid organization’s fundraising efforts to support OVV children and programs.

    This year, the Emerging Leaders Group is taking on a goal to raise awareness and funds to help children who are deaf and hard of hearing in the Greater Cincinnati area.

    You can join Ohio Valley Voices staff and the Emerging Leaders Group members at the Bishop’s Quarter to find out more about their mission and take part in a raffle. The winner will receive a prize that includes two VIP tickets to the OVV Annual Gala with a private experience with award-winning mixologist, Molly Wellmann.

    All proceeds from the event will go to support Ohio Valley Voices programs.

    Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland community is welcoming Nancy Garfinkel home with open arms after spending several days in the ICU.

    Garfinkel has been a staple in the Sweetheart of Ohio for years spending countless hours giving back to the community time and time again. Recently Garfinkel was hospitalized due to the effects COVID-19 had on her health. Close friend and Executive Director of LIFE Food Pantry Linda Bergholz shared that at one point during Garfinkel’s time in the ICU she was put on a ventilator.

    “It was quite a scary experience for Nancy,” Bergholz said, “She is a well-loved institution in our community. Nancy volunteers for EVERYTHING in Loveland! She is a huge part of LIFE Food Pantry, she helps with Granny’s Gardens, she does landscaping for various places including Branch Hill Coffee. Nancy is also involved with the Loveland Women’s Club and would have been selected to be a Valentine Lady as she has been nominated multiple times but is usually in Florida during February,” Bergholz added.

    According to many residents in Loveland, Garfinkel is known and loved by nearly everyone in the community!

    “Because Nancy is so loved at LIFE we decided to plan a ‘We love you Nancy’ parade past her house on Saturday, February 6th,” Bergholz said, “She’s so active and vibrant that staying at home and being on oxygen is really rough on her and we want her to feel supported. We are all so grateful that she pulled through!”

    Anyone who would like to join the “We love you Nancy” parade hosted by LIFE Food Pantry can meet the group at Ohio Valley Voices at 2 PM on Saturday, February 6th. Departure for Garfinkel’s neighborhood, which is in Miami Trails, will be at 2:10 PM.

    The project is called Therapy Swings for Deaf Children

    Dear Loveland Magazine Readers,

    My name is Vincent Proctor and I’m working on my Boy Scout Eagle Project. The project benefits Ohio Valley Voices school for deaf children, located Miami Township just outside of Loveland.

    GoFundMe donations will be sent directly to the school and be designated for this project. All donations are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt digitally.

    Funds are only being collected through October 8, 2018, so please donate today!

    You could also help by sharing this campaign on Facebook and Twitter.

    The project is called Therapy Swings for Deaf Children. The swings will benefit the children by helping in the therapy treatment for a condition called Sensory Integration Disorder, which is common in deaf children.

    The cost of an institutional grade swing set, installation supplies and equipment plus a large area of playground mulch bring the budget for this project much higher than is typical for Eagle projects. I really want to make this project happen for the kids but need the generous support of the community in order to achieve it.

    I have opened a GoFundMe account to facilitate the funding. Could you please help get the word out? Here is the URL:

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Sincerely,

    Vincent Proctor
