Education

Among John's biggest goals was ensuring that his daughter, Naomi, could make it to college. He collected coins and dollars in a Band-Aid tin that served as a bank for her educational fund. Sure enough, Naomi graduated college as a first-generation student, and still has this tin to this day. To her, it perfectly encompasses the role John played in other people's lives.
Years later, John was able to witness his grandchildren, Evan and Taylor, walk the stage, following in their mother's footsteps. To see a legacy form, from Naomi graduating as a first-generation college student, to his grandchildren graduating with PharmD degrees, meant the world to him.
​
John's love for education extended beyond his family; when he joined Olympia Pharmaceuticals, he was a big advocate for his peers going back to school and continuing their education.
​
The John Paul Charitable Foundation is honored to continue John's legacy of helping others reach new heights in their educational journeys.
​
The Foundation is proud to be able to offer scholarship opportunities to students and incoming students of Ohio State University, the University of Florida, and Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, to help undergraduates receive the education they've dreamed of achieving.
