Gift of Hope Golf Classic 2022
The Seneca Valley Foundation's (SVF) 10th Annual Gift of Hope Golf Classic presented by Batavia Studios on August 4 was a swinging success! With the help of repeat sponsors like Edulink, Eckles Construction, Penna Flame Industries and ComDoc, and new contributors Batavia Studios, Renaissance and Hefren-Tillotson/Baird, the SVF raised over $50,000 to help further its mission of providing the Gift of Hope and Promise of Excellence to the students and staff of Seneca Valley School District.
Over the past ten years, SVF has donated over $900,000 to teacher projects, classroom enhancements, capital improvement projects, professional development and STEM activities, and is eager to do more. Proceeds from this year’s golf outing will allow SVF to continue, and increase, its efforts for the benefit of Seneca Valley School District.

The Seneca Valley Foundation is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to encouraging excellence and innovation in the Seneca Valley Schools. The Foundation strives for this by seeking donations and patrons to facilitate the development of new capital projects, programs and scholarships, and is proud to say we have provided Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) mini-grants to assist students with high-intensity projects as part of the annual STEM Science Fair. The Foundation has also served as the sponsor of the Seneca Valley Intermediate High School Genetics Laboratory and funded the lettering and installation of the recently named Ryan Gloyer Middle School, as well as awarded several teacher mini-grants for classroom enrichment. On the elementary side, SVF has approved the donation of funds for our K-6 schools so they may purchase literacy materials for the classroom. Board members consist of stakeholders from local business leaders, community leaders and school leaders. As a non-profit organization, the Foundation is also utilized as a vehicle by which memorial and other charitable donations may be made to the Seneca Valley School District.
