Summary:
When former Westerville City School District (WCSD) Superintendent Dr. George Tombaugh passed away on February 20, 2019, family members approached the Westerville Education Foundation (WEF) with a desire to establish a fund to which individuals could make a donation in lieu of flowers to honor the late educator.Katy Tombaugh said she and her four siblings (Ben Tombaugh, Fred Tombaugh, Jenna Lofgren, and Kris Evans), as well as their mother (Carol Tombaugh), had subsequent conversations and brainstormed ways they could keep the fund viable.
“We didn’t want this fund to be a one-time thing,” Katy explained. “We were looking for a way to not only generate revenue for the fund, but to find a way that would honor my father’s legacy and his lifelong work in education.”
As a result, with Katy assuming the lead and others taking on roles to support the vision, the Tombaugh family launched an effort to bring the inaugural Dr. Tombaugh Dash – Family 5K & Fun Run to the Westerville area community. Their goal is to net $10,000 from the event’s first year to grow the funding available through the WEF’s Dr. George Tombaugh Fund. more…
