We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Alexander James, the incredibly talented artist who brought these words to life on canvas: “You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” – John Wooden. This quote reflects the heart of our work at Gladden Community House, and we’re honored that the spirit of kindness and community shines through in this beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and for helping to tell the story of Gladden through your art, Alexander. (fb)

We’re incredibly grateful to the Caesars Foundation and Eldorado Scioto Downs for their generous $5,000 gift to Gladden Community House on behalf of our Team Sports Program. Gladden’s year-round youth sports program includes Summer Tee Ball, Baseball, Softball, Winter Basketball, Cheerleading, Three Seasons Soccer, Volleyball, Floor Hockey, and Extreme Sports. During 2024, over 600 youth participated in our program. This donation helps us continue offering vital programs to youth and families in our community—and it’s made even more special knowing it was inspired by Travis, a Scioto Downs team member who grew up in our programs and now gives back as a dedicated volunteer in our Team Sports program. Thank you for investing in our mission and standing alongside us in building a stronger community! #CommunitySupport #ThankYou #GladdenHouse #YouthPrograms #NeighborhoodStrong (fb)
