The Union County Foundation’s 2024 Community Gala was a resounding success, held at the stunning Retreat 21. This annual event serves as a platform to honor community leaders, celebrate the foundation’s accomplishments, and raise vital funds to support our operations.
This year, we were thrilled to recognize Bruce Daniels as our honoree. His unwavering dedication to our community has made a significant difference in countless lives. We were equally honored to have Nadine Muzerall, the 2-time NCAA National Champion OSU Women’s Hockey Coach, deliver the keynote address.
