Recognitions

 

2022

On October 22, 2022, the Yukta Garg Memorial Foundation had the honor of receiving another proclamation from the Washington Township for the donation by the Foundation that helped install the new interactive and kid-friendly water feature at the RecPlex pool. Trustee Vice President Dale Berry dedicated the aquatic feature. Additionally, families with the Special Wish Foundation were invited for a special swim after the dedication to try out the new water feature.
 
Thanks to everyone for the continued support and generous donations at our fund-raising events that helped support youth enrichment and recreation programming in the Washington Township community. Over the years, the Foundation has partnered with the recreation department on multiple projects including butterfly playgrounds in the Countryside Park and the indoor playground at the RecPlex West.

  • Several news broadcasts on Fox and abc news channels in the month of February
  • The Ohio Outstanding Citizen Leadership Award by the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association (OPRA) in the month of February
  • The Proclamation from the Washington Township Trustees in the month of March

We feel very honored and excited for these recognitions. It means a lot to us. All these recognitions are not only for us but also for the entire Greater Dayton community including Washington Township staff and trustees. It would not have been possible without their continued love and support. Our sincere thanks to everyone.
