Big Announcement on National Joe Day!

Today is National Joe Day, the perfect day to announce some exciting (yet bittersweet) news for our Chief Development Officer Joe Baldasare, CFRE.

After 22 years, Joe will retire on June 30, 2023. Since he began his tenure with The Dayton Foundation in 2001, thousands of charitable funds have been established, due largely in part to the special relationships he has nurtured with donors, financial advisors and nonprofit leaders. As Joe said in a recent Good News article, “I have the greatest job because all day long, I get to meet good people who want to do good things for the community and the world. What could be better than that?”

In honor of National Joe Day, we invite you to raise a cup of Joe for Joe! Visit our Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter pages and leave him messages of congratulations and well wishes for his upcoming retirement. Thank you, Joe, for a remarkable career of helping people help others and making our community a better place to live!
