IMPACT 2025 to Unite Our Community for a Day of Giving, Learning, and Lasting Change
TOLEDO, OHIO – The region’s nonprofit and business communities will come together on Thursday, September 25, 2025, for IMPACT 2025: Give Back. Learn Why., a collaborative event designed to spark connection, encourage volunteerism, and strengthen support for children and families across Northwest Ohio. The event will take place at the Glass City Center in downtown Toledo and is proudly presented by The Trompeter Family Foundation.
