This endowment was created by members of the Canton Ad Club in honor of longtime advertising executive Dick Maggiore to provide support to children and young adults of lesser means who seek to enrich their lives and advance their futures through creative expression. Established to promote greater effectiveness and higher standards in the creation and use of advertising, this fund provides scholarships and programs that support a variety of educational opportunities. Being the first in the local advertising field to pool funds for this creative purpose, Mr. Maggiore sets an inspiring example.

Programs are conducted in the Children’s Garden at the Canton Garden Center located at 1615 Stadium Park N.W., Canton, Ohio. The Children’s Garden Committee’s goal is that children attending the “Pergola Parties for Kids” educational programs will gain understanding about nature, the importance of caring for our environment and the interrelatedness of plants that grow and foods we eat. The interpretative and interactive programs are free to all children. All programs are provided by Children’s Garden Committee volunteers.

Canton Museum of Art established this fund to support its mission for people of all ages to be “entertained, excited, and educated through the discovery and exploration of art.” This is accomplished through dynamic exhibits, an acclaimed collection of American works of art, and stimulating education and community outreach programs. A donation from a museum supporter allowed for the creation of this fund, specifically to encourage further gifts to provide for high-quality exhibits and programs that make art, and its inspiration, accessible to all.
