Bob Mills

Citizen Legion of Honor Award Goes To Bob Mills

October 3, 2017 By Lisa Grigsby

The Presidents Club of Dayton has announced that Robert W. Mills, Jr. is the 67th recipient of the region’s 2017 Citizen Legion of Honor Award. The award, given every year since 1951, is the oldest, most continuous and prestigious recognition of volunteer servant leadership in the Dayton region.
Bob Mills is founder of both Synergy Building Systems and Mills Development, two of the region’s top construction and land development companies in our area. Through Mr. Mills’ intense work ethic and vision for quality development in and around the I-75 and I-675 corridors, his companies have made a huge impact on the creation of office and residential space for decades.
Mr. Mills has generously served as a volunteer leader on more than a dozen corporate and not-for-profit boards over the last thirty years including Greene Memorial Hospital; the Air Force Museum; Wright State University Foundation; and the Dayton Development Coalition.
Most recently, Bob and his family created the Gala of Hope Foundation and have raised more than $6 million to fight cancer and improve cancer care in our region. Additionally, he and his family worked tirelessly to support Dayton Children’s new patient tower supporting local children’s needs for important healthcare services. “Bob has been an unwavering supporter of Dayton Children’s, giving gifts both personally and from his Gala of Hope Foundation. Bob has set the bar high for philanthropy. His Gala of Hope event was the first in Dayton to raise $1 million”, stated Deborah Feldman, President & CEO of Dayton Children’s Hospital.
Bob has been recognized for his leadership by the Dayton Regional STEM School; Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce; Leukemia & Lymphoma Society; the American Cancer Society’s Man of the Year; and with the Mathile Community Award.
Mr. Mills has given and done so much for our region and continues to do so through the Gala of Hope Foundation. The community and The Presidents Club of Dayton are honored to recognize Bob Mills at their annual luncheon event on Thursday, October 5, 2017 at the Dayton Convention Center from 10:00 a.m. through 1:15 p.m.

AFP Announces Honorees For National Philanthropy Day

September 18, 2016 By Dayton Most Metro

58 58The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), Greater Dayton Region Chapter just  announced the honorees to be celebrated at the 2016 National Philanthropy Day (NPD) Annual Awards Luncheon.

s the day that thousands of people around the world come together to both (1) put that word into action and (2) recognize the change that word has brought to our communities.

NPD is a celebration of philanthropy—giving, volunteering and charitable engagement—that highlights the accomplishments, large and small, that philanthropy—and all those involved in the philanthropic process—makes to our society and our world.

 

Outstanding Philanthropist: The Mills Family14319213_10154584928182834_6067336539232213522_n
As hosts of the Gala of Hope at their home in Beavercreek, The Mills hope to set cancer in the sunset.  This event this year raised a record breaking $1.3 million dollars.  Bob was named Man of the Year in 2011 for raising the most money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.  Barbara has led trips to Mexico with the charity Youth With a Mission.  Just a glimpse at the generosity the Mills family shares with our community

Outstanding Fundraising Executive: Jena Pado33773_1420589515657_3093119_n
Since moving back to Dayton 11 years ago, Jena has been dedicated to help Dayton Children’s raise millions of dollars to improve children’s health in the region.  As the Chief Development Office she is leading the $25 million “Reaching New Heights” campaign, the largest in the hospital’s history.

Outstanding Foundation: Yellow Springs Community Foundation1555573_10152263579327272_2099901908_n

Outstanding Large Corporation: Heidelberg Distributinglogo-1
From one man and one truck, this family owned Ohio  business has grown through mergers, acquisitions and industry consolidation to now employing over 1600.   They live their  motto “When you celebrate . . . we’re there!”  by supporting our communities not-for-profit organizations that work hard to bring services, arts, education, research and hope to our neighbors.

*Tie* Outstanding Small Corporation:

They’ve helped raise over $20,000 for A Special Wish Foundation and created the Catch A Rising Star gala for WDPR Classical Radio.

 C-3 Groupc3-group

This small but mighty team (their words) is passionate about driving results and over the years, they’ve helped brands of all sorts, from local and international to corporate and non-profit, find success.  In October 2013, they introduced the “C-3 Cares” initiative – a program to serve non-profits in the Dayton area by producing marketing materials such as websites, print pieces, social media training and consulting, branding, and more. Each year they sponsoring a pro bono project for a deserving and qualified Miami Valley charitable organization.To date, they have donated over $40,000 in award-winning projects and services under this program.
