We love our community in Lancaster Ohio, as well as the whole Fairfield county and beyond. Since 1977 we’ve been calling Ohio home, and are deeply committed to the health and wellness of our vibrant area.
With this in mind, like many like minded businesses… we aim to support our brethren, through charitable monetary contributions, as well as other means. Below are a few local causes we support, and a bit of background information on each organization.
We’ve all heard of this fine organization. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Fairfield County Ohio matches adult volunteers (Bigs) with kids (Littles) facing adversity to provide professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that have a measurable and transformative impact on the lives of our youth, our mentors and our community. We’ve participated in the Bowling for Kids fundraiser in the past. My daughter Lily was a big sister.

The Berne Union Instrumental Music Department enrolls over 150 students in grades 5th through 12th, and affords students a wealth of opportunities for musical growth in both performance-based curricular ensembles, extracurricular ensembles, and music technology courses. Many of my friends and family members were members of BU Band.

Lancaster Athletic Booster Club
Our mission is to produce an environment that inspires student/athletes, coaches, parents, and the community to collectively create a positive and spirited atmosphere for all athletic programs.
Our desire is to build strong moral character and academic excellence in the student/athletes while seeking to raise funds for Lancaster High School, as we strengthen the status of the overall programs, to support the financial needs of our student/athletes. All of my kids have participated in LHS Athletics.
