To say that John Glazer was special to us is an understatement. We will miss the twinkle in his eye as he brainstormed a good idea, his empathetic approach to helping others, and the way he brought out the best in everyone lucky enough to know him. Help us honor John and sustain his legacy with a donation to the John Glazer Impact Fund.

The John Glazer Impact Fund will honor and continue John’s enduring legacy of working tirelessly, joyfully, to support local social enterprises. Glazer Impact is established with the Athens County Foundation by Faith Knutsen, Carol Beale, Mark and Wanda Weinberg, Hylie and Bruce Voss, and Don, Eli and Jill Flournoy, in honor of John’s dedication to entrepreneurial spirit and his indomitable drive to advance sustainable, impact-driven enterprise.
