Doug Castle Legacy Fund Honorees, Moesc Director, Local Graduates
Foundation: Richland County Foundation
When Ohio State University football coach Jim Tressel hired Doug Castle as an academic adviser in 2011, the man's family established the Doug Castle Legacy Fund to honor his life and support education programs, racial equity, and inclusion, mentorship, and community building.
Since its inception in 2018, the fund has awarded three college scholarships to Mansfield Senior High School graduates, the Mansfield News Journal reports.
Castle, a local educator whose 50-year career spanned all aspects of education in Richland County, died of brain cancer.
When he died, his family established the Doug Castle Legacy Fund at the Richland County Foundation to honor his life and support education programs, racial equity, and inclusion, mentorship, and community building.
Anyone can donate to the fund online at richlandcountyfoundation.org, click the donate button, and select the Doug Castle Fund.
