Middletown Mayor Lawrence Mulligan Jr. presents
a proclamation to Logan Kiser declaring Thursday,
June 5, “Logan Kiser Day” in honor of his donating
his First Communion gift of $50 to the Middletown
Community Foundation.
Boy’s donation
proves kids can
make a difference
When eight-year-old Logan Kiser told his parents he
wanted to use his First Communion money—$50—
to help other kids in his school pay for their lunches,
they were touched. As it turned out, the PTA at his
elementary school had already taken care of that.
So Logan still insisted he wanted to help others with
this money. It was then that he remembered his little
brother getting free books each month from the
Dolly Parton Imagination Library program funded
by the Middletown Community Foundation.
“My brother Grant is always so excited when he
gets those books,” Logan said. “I thought it would be
really neat to help other kids get them too.”
His parents, John and Avinne, wanted to
encourage their young philanthropist and matched
his gift with their own $50. A friend of the family
also pitched in and added another $100. Now Logan
had $200 to donate.
The Kisers contacted MCF about Logan’s desire
to help other kids get the books and learned that his
donation would fund books for eight children each
month for one year, according to Duane Gordon,
MCF executive director.
“Logan is the youngest donor we have, and
shows that the next generation can make a
difference now,” said Gordon. “Kids like Logan set
the example,” he added.
When asked why he didn’t just use the money
to buy something for himself, Logan replied:
“I’ve already got enough stuff.”

Evans Family Creates Our Newest Scholarship
Graduating high school seniors who are
among the highest performers in their
class may now compete for scholarships
ranging from $6,000 to $20,000 thanks to a
planned gift the Middletown Community
Foundation received in 2013 from the estate
of Walter Evans.
A World War II veteran, Walter received
a degree from Pennsylvania State University
with a bachelor’s in engineering, moving
to Middletown in 1948 and working for
American Aggregates Corp. He retired
41 years later as vice president of the
corporation’s American Materials Co.
subsidiary.
His wife, Nellie, earned a bachelor’s in
journalism and master’s in library science,
both from the University of Kentucky.
She worked as a librarian and also served as
the Middletown Journal’s society columnist
throughout the 1950s.
After a 64-year marriage, Nellie passed
away in 2009, followed by her husband in
2012. They wanted to continue supporting
their favorite charities after they were gone,
so they designated the residual assets of
the estate – the amount remaining after all
other bequests and estate expenses were
Walter and Nellie Evans
paid – to charity, specifically Atrium Medical
Center and the Middletown Community
Foundation, which received the funds in
late 2013.
When Walter specified to Michael
D. Stautberg, Atrium Medical Center
Foundation president, during his estate
planning that the couple wanted a portion of
their estate to fund non-medical related
scholarships in addition to supporting
the hospital, Mike recommended the
Middletown Community Foundation
to fulfill that wish. In part due to this
suggestion, the Evans’ estate now supports
two worthy causes: education seminars
for Atrium caregivers in neuroscience,
rehabilitation and behavioral health; and
college scholarships for area students,
administered by Middletown Community
Foundation.
“Although the needs are great for
patients served by Atrium Medical Center
Foundation, our guiding principle always
is to be a good steward for our donors,
helping them to fulfill their philanthropic
goals,” Mike said. “We’re very grateful for
all the good that Walter and Nellie Evans
are doing for Atrium Medical Center and
our community.”
T. Duane Gordon, Middletown
Community Foundation Executive Director,
added: “This unique bequest exhibits the
partnership that multiple organizations
have to best serve our shared donors.
We so very much appreciate Walter and
Nellie’s decision to help us help local
students further their education.

OUR LARGEST-EVER GRANT COMMITMENT
The Middletown Community Foundation in 2013 made its largest-ever grant commitment:
$500,000 payable over 10 years to renovate Middletown City Schools’ Barnitz Stadium.
Combined with support from Premier Health/Atrium Medical Center, Sodexo, Cohen and the
Miriam G. Knoll Charitable Foundation, more than $2 million in improvements are being made to
the 64-year-old facility on South Main Street. Then-Superintendent of Education Greg Rasmussen
accepted a check for the project from MCF Board President Cathie Mulligan and Executive

Rather than designate the use of the funds himself, Dr. Myers asked his friends Mary Lord
and Brandy Casper to decide how the Foundation was going to spend the funds’ future earnings.
They and the estate’s executor, Dr. Myers’s neighbor Bruce Haines, spent more than a year meeting
with various organizations before reaching their decisions on what endowments would be
established at the Middletown Community Foundation (see list at left).
