Luncheon Fundraiser

Wednesday, May 24, 2023
11:30 am to 1:00 pm

Honoring Brady Kress

Keeping the past alive by educating the future.


Known by many for his pivotal work at Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Mr. Kress has long been an advocate for preserving history through storytelling and connecting people with the places and events that helped shape their community.

A graduate of Centerville High School and Wright State University, Mr. Kress got an early start teaching history for Centerville-Washington History and was previously the President of the Association of Indiana Museums before returning to his roots and settling down with his family in Washington Township. Mr. Kress’s accomplishments have greatly impacted the Dayton region and connected countless individuals to the history and heritage of our community.

Tickets for the fundraising luncheon are $65, with opportunities to be recognized as a sponsor and support community grants. Doors will open at 11:30 am for an opportunity to visit with prior grant recipients and learn about their projects. A plated lunch will be served at noon with presentations starting shortly after. The Foundation will provide an overview of its grant program and recognize recent grant recipients before introducing Brady Kress.
