THE PADRIAC ROUTA MEMORIAL FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CREATIVE LEADERS AND ENTREPRENEURS. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS AND RESOURCES TO YOUNG ADULTS PURSUING CAREERS IN THE ARTS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, HONORING THE LEGACY OF PADRIAC ROUTA'S OWN COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. WE CURRENTLY ACHIEVE THIS GOAL BY HOSTING AN ANNUAL GOLF OUTING WITH SPONSORS, EVENT REGISTRATIONS AND DONATIONS AS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF REVENUE. DURING OUR FIRST YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER A FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR SCHOLARSHIP TO A GRADUATING OHIO SENIOR PLANNING ON GOING INTO ARTS OR ENTREPRENEURSHIP. OUR GOAL RAISE ENOUGH MONEY TO SUSTAIN AN ENDOWMENT FUND WHICH WILL CARRY ON THE SCHOLARSHIP FOREVER.
